Ulluco Seeds

1. Sowing Technique: Plant the seed tubers or small root sets 4–5 cm deep directly into loose, well-loosened soil mounds mixed with fine compost.
2. Sunlight Requirements: Position cultivation beds or pots in a location that receives 5–6 hours of bright daily sunlight, keeping them shielded from intense, scorching midday heat.
3. Soil Condition: Plant in deeply cultivated, loose, stone-free sandy loam soil; avoid heavy, compacted clay layouts that stunt or deform the expanding tubers.
4. Watering Schedule: Maintain a steady, moderate watering routine to keep the soil evenly damp; avoid overwatering or leaving standing water pools to prevent root rotting.
5. Harvesting Timing: Harvest carefully using a small garden fork in late winter when the succulent creeping foliage naturally begins to yellow, dry down, and fade.
