Green Red Leaf Bayam, also known as Chinese Spinach or Amaranth, is a fast-growing leafy vegetable known for its vibrant green and reddish leaves, tender stems and naturally sweet, slightly earthy flavour. Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, it is a nutritious addition to everyday meals. Commonly used in stir-fries, soups, steamed dishes and salads, Green Red Leaf Bayam thrives in Singapore's warm tropical climate and is ideal for home gardening.
Planting Guidelines:
-
Sow the seeds directly into well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, covering them lightly with approximately 0.5cm of soil. Space the plants 10–15cm apart to allow sufficient room for healthy growth.
-
Seeds typically germinate within 3–5 days, and the leaves can be ready for harvesting in approximately 21–30 days. Harvest the young leaves and tender stems before flowering for the best flavour and texture. Regular harvesting can encourage continued growth.
-
Green Red Leaf Bayam grows best in full sunlight, preferably receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure good drainage and adequate airflow to promote healthy growth.
