  • Soil requirements: Endive seeds prefer well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter for optimal growth.
  • Sunlight needs: Endive seeds require full sun to partial shade. However, in hotter climates, they may benefit from some afternoon shade.
  • Watering requirements: Endive seeds need regular watering. The soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
  • Planting season: Endive seeds are best planted in the spring or fall. In hotter climates, planting in the fall can result in a better harvest.
  • Depth and spacing: Endive seeds should be planted at a depth of 1/4 inch and spaced about 12 inches apart.
  • Germination time: Endive seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days after planting.
  • Maturity time: Endive seeds reach maturity and are ready for harvest within 85 to 100 days after planting.
  • Harvesting time: Endive leaves are best harvested in the early morning when they are at their crispest.
  • Harvesting tips: Harvest endive leaves from the outside of the plant first. The inner leaves can continue to grow and provide a second harvest. After harvesting, endive leaves can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
