Fresh Popcorn Seeds are small, hard, and typically yellow or white in color. When heated, the moisture inside the seed turns to steam, causing the kernel to explode and turn inside out, creating the fluffy, edible snack we know as popcorn.
Specifications :
- Product Type: Bonsai
- Use: Outdoor Plants
- Full-bloom Period: Summer
- Soil requirements: Popcorn seeds prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 5.8 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: Popcorn plants require full sun, which means they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Watering requirements: Popcorn seeds need consistent moisture, especially during germination and early growth stages. Water the plants deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
- Planting season: The best time to plant popcorn seeds is in the spring, after the last frost has passed and the soil temperature has reached at least 60°F (15.5°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant popcorn seeds about 1 to 2 inches deep and space them 8 to 10 inches apart in rows that are 30 to 36 inches apart. This spacing allows for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Popcorn seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Popcorn plants usually reach maturity in about 90 to 120 days after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest popcorn is when the kernels are fully mature and the husks have turned brown and dry. This usually occurs in late summer to early fall.
- Harvesting tips: To harvest popcorn, pick the ears when the husks are dry and brown. Remove the husks and allow the ears to dry further in a warm, well-ventilated area for a few weeks. Once the kernels are hard and dry, they can be removed from the cob and stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
