5 short tips for germinating Pusa Asita (Black Carrot) seeds:
🥕 1. Sow fresh seeds directly
Carrot seeds don’t transplant well—sow directly in final soil for straight root growth.
🥕 2. Fine, loose soil is a must
Use deep, stone-free, рыхla (loose) soil so roots can grow long and straight without obstruction.
🥕 3. Shallow sowing
Sow seeds 0.5–1 cm deep and cover lightly—too deep slows or prevents germination.
🥕 4. Keep soil evenly moist
Maintain consistent moisture (not dry, not soggy)—carrot seeds dry out quickly.
🥕 5. Cool weather works best
Ideal temperature is 10–25°C—germination usually takes 7–15 days.
