Gardening
Gongura (Hibiscus sabdariffa), also known as sorrel, pulicha keerai (Tamil), ambadi (Marathi), and pitwaa (Hindi), is a leafy plant widely used in Indian cuisine, especially in Andhra Pradesh. The leaves have a distinctive tangy, sour flavor and are rich in vitamins and minerals. Gongura is a key ingredient in several regional dishes, such as Gongura Pachadi and Gongura Pappu.
Gongura is a good source of iron, which makes it beneficial for people with anemia.
The leaves are rich in vitamins A, C, and B9 (folate).
Gongura contains antioxidants that help combat free radicals and promote good health.
Soil Preparation:
Gongura prefers well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Mix compost into the soil to improve fertility.
The ideal soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral, between 5.5 and 6.5.
Planting :
Planting Depth: Sow the seeds about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) deep.
Spacing: Space seeds 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) apart in rows about 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart.
Temperature :
Gongura thrives in warm weather and grows best in temperatures between 70°F to 95°F (21°C to 35°C). It cannot tolerate frost, so it should be planted after the last frost date in cooler regions.
Watering :
Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid waterlogging. Gongura needs regular watering, especially in dry conditions.
Sunlight :
Gongura grows best in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.
Germination Time:
Gongura seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days, depending on the soil temperature and moisture.
Thinning :
Once seedlings are 2-3 inches tall, thin them to allow 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) between each plant for healthy growth.
Harvesting :
Gongura leaves can be harvested 40-60 days after planting. You can start picking young leaves as soon as the plant is well-established.
For continuous harvest, pick only the outer leaves, allowing the plant to keep growing.
