Growing Kale from seed in containers in India!

[@vathgriffith]

What should be the size of container for transplanting?

[@Cbn717]

Why do you make a mountain of soil?

[@Exoticblooms]

This was a very effective method inspired by hydroponics. You would plant in a mountain of peat then fill up the remaining container with hay or grass. This cuts cost and is great for root system to grow..

[@pratiksingh1713]

What was the temperature during the growth

[@Exoticblooms]

It was 31 Celsius day time and 24 night time approx. It did so well Oct - Feb. And survived a couple of months until I stopped watering and killed it.

From where I can buy the seeds?? Please help me

[@Exoticblooms]

You can buy online from amazon or directly from online sellers in India (search google). Online is a bit expensive due to delivery charges. If you have a local nursery or garden store in your area you can buy from there too.

Where can I buy different varieties of Kale online ? Can you suggest ? I can only find the regular misticanza variety online. Thanks already for the spectacular video .

[@Exoticblooms]

Get from any local garden store. Or directly from online companies like Nimai gardens. Avoid Amazon and other multi vendor sites..

[@aikiasatirojorp437]

Great video! What kind of potting mix do you use for growing kale?

[@Exoticblooms]

Just Pure Coco Peat with periodic feeding of hydropnic nutrients. As multch we used grass clippings.

[@aganyasharma2247]

Can we grow kale without fertilizer or organic

[@Exoticblooms]

No. It has to be fed with either organic or synthetic fertilizer on a schedule.

[@cee8700]

So I first have to put in small containers? Then transfer to those big plastic bags or containers?

[@Exoticblooms]

Ideally this will help if you have few seeds. Transplant when they are quite sizable.

[@abc_cba]

Hi ! I stay in a very *hot* and not a warm climate in central India. My Kale seeds germinate but the tiny saplings don't survive more than 4 days despite keeping them in a cool place. Suggestions, please. Thanks for the video !

[@Exoticblooms]

They require full sun / atleast partial shade at that stage. You need to check your soil . Temperature has the least to do there.

[@abc_cba]

@@Exoticblooms The sun in Nagpur is so terrible that even on the coldest winter we have such a harsh sunlight that we have terrible tans and most plants burn out dry !

[@manaswinimahapatra3860]

[@ravneetsidhu6394]

Please suggest from where to get good quality seeds online...company name would b appreciated as some just don't germinate

[@Exoticblooms]

I got this from Nimai gardens website. Best seed companies in India are Namdhari, Omaxe, and local brands.

Where do we get the seeds of kale plant?

[@urmilbimbra1677]

Can we grow kale at this time of the year. Its around March in india? A reply would be appreciated.

[@Exoticblooms]

No. Not at all. Its the opposite of western winters during indian summers. You can barely grow brinjals, okra, and other warm weather..

[@urmilbimbra1677]

thanks for the reply. also, i wanna know if i can even grow a vegetable like that myself, i mean, i have no experience growing anything. I wish there was a guide/manual that could help a total noob like me in growing. just wondering if you can be of any help? you video has inspired me in tot some extent and is ofcourse a great vid. but iv found myself being confused during many parts of the video. i really wanna grow a super veggie like kale for myself and my family, i just need some guidance. Also have you ever thought about growing collard greens aswell in india? they seem to be really healthy as well. cheers.

[@LuxSupreme]

hi, have you been able to grow the kale in summer?

[@Exoticblooms]

Yes. It lasted through the summer but under shade.

[@LuxSupreme]

@@Exoticblooms Wow, can you make a video on it? What seeds did you use, was the planting process different than other seasons? Hope floats.

[@rajusigned]

where do you get the seeds?

[@Exoticblooms]

Most exotic seeds are available online. i got this from nimai gardens website.

[@mohanvvip]

Location in India please?

[@Exoticblooms]

Kerala.

[@mohanvvip]

@@Exoticblooms So did you or anyone you know manage to grow kale in the Kerala climate?

[@narohit]

[@manasveemezz2336]

for good health eat kale blanched or raw with extra virgin olive oil and squeezed homegrown lemon on top. avoid microwaving or white bread use :) your have grown kale wonderfully
