GROWING GUIDE:

SOAK SEEDS IN WATER FOR 12 HOURS UNTIL THE SEED'S COATING IS SOFTEN AND EXPANDED. IF THE COATING HAS NOT BEEN SOFTEN, RUB IT IN SAND THEN SOAK AGAIN. AFTER SOAKING, ALLOW THE SEEDS TO REST BETWEEN TWO WET PAPER TOWELS, ENSURE TO KEEP THEM CONSTANTLY MOIST. IT WILL GERMINATE IN 5~7 DAYS. BEST TO PLANT SEEDS IN SOIL WHICH CONTAINS SAND. SOW SEEDS 2CM DEEP;25CM BETWEEN PLANTS; 70CM BETWEEN ROWS. THEN COVER WITH LAYER OF ORGANIC COMPOST MANURE. SET UP TRELLIS WHEN LEAVES APPEAR. ALWAYS KEEP SOIL DAMP. PODS APPEAR 9~10 DAYS AFTER FLOWERING. SUITABLE TEMPERATURE ABOVE 22 DEGREES . WINGED BEAN S VERY SENSITIVE TO HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE.
