How to Grow from Seeds:

Seed Sowing:
Sow Methi seeds approximately ½ inch deep in loose, fertile soil. Seeds can be directly sown in pots, grow bags or garden beds.

Germination:
Seeds generally germinate within approximately 5–10 days under suitable conditions.

Spacing:
For leafy Methi, maintain approximately 2–4 inches spacing between plants. For mature plants grown for seed, provide more room for healthy development.

Watering:
Keep the soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Avoid excessive watering and waterlogging.

Soil Requirement:
Use fertile, organic-rich and well-drained loamy or sandy-loam soil. Fenugreek performs best in well-drained soil with good organic content.

Sunlight:
Provide around 4–6 hours of sunlight daily. In cooler weather, full sun encourages healthy leafy growth.

Fertilization:
Mix well-rotted compost or organic manure into the soil before sowing. A mild organic fertilizer can be applied during active growth.
