    Approx. seeds per gram: 42

    Germination
    • Seeds sprout in 5-8 days.
    • Keep soil moist during this period.
    • Once sprouts appear, move to a bright spot with direct morning sun.
    Transplanting

    NA - Gongura grows best with direct sowing.

    Growing
    • Needs 5-6 hours of sunlight daily.
    • Water when the topsoil feels dry. Keep soil consistently moist.
    • Use a pot with drainage holes.
    • Space plants 20-25 cm apart.
    • Feed with cow manure every 15 days. Use neem cake and neem oil spray to keep pests away.
    Aftercare & Post-Harvest
    • Don't let the plant bolt for too long as leaves turn less tangy after flowering.
    • Once it bolts and flowers, harvest all remaining leaves immediately.
    • Pull and sow fresh for the next monsoon season.
    Harvesting
    • Leaves are ready in 40-60 days.
    • Snip outer leaves from the base, leaving the centre to keep growing.
    • The more you harvest, the more it produces.
    • Harvest regularly for the most tender, flavourful leaves.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Gongura and Ambadi same?

    Yes! Gongura and Ambadi are the same plant, known scientifically as Hibiscus sabdariffa. It’s called Gongura in Telugu and Ambadi in Marathi, while other regions call it Pulicha Keerai (Tamil) and Pitwaa (Hindi). This tangy, nutrient-rich green is a staple in chutneys, dals, and pickles across India!

    Is Gongura good for health?

    Absolutely! Gongura (Ambadi) is a nutritional powerhouse packed with iron, calcium, antioxidants, and vitamin C. It aids digestion, boosts immunity, and supports heart health. Plus, its natural tangy flavor makes it a delicious addition to dals, chutneys, and curries.

    How long does it take for Gongura seeds to germinate?

    Gongura seeds germinate in 5-10 days under warm conditions (20-30°C). For faster sprouting, soak them overnight before starting them in a well-draining medium like <a href="https://www.ugaoo.com/products/cocopeat-block-5-kg">Coco Peat</a>. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, place the seeds in a sunny spot, and watch your tangy greens grow in no time! Once the seeds germinate and grow at least two true leaves, transplant them in well-draining soil like Ugaoo's <a href="https://www.ugaoo.com/products/pot-o-mix-5-kg-potting-mix">Pot-O-Mix</a> and watch them grow into wonderful plants!

    Can I eat raw Gongura leaves?

    Yes, you can eat raw Gongura leaves, but be ready for a tangy, sour punch! While they're safe to consume fresh in salads or chutneys, cooking them reduces their sharp acidity and enhances flavor. Light sautéing or blending into dal and pickles is the best way to enjoy their nutritional goodness without overpowering your taste buds!
