Carrot Plant Care:

• Germination Time – 10-14 days
• Sunlight – Carrots need full sunlight (6+ hours a day) for optimal growth.
• Watering – Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Over-saturation can lead to root rot.
• Fertilization – Use organic compost or vermicompost for nutrient-rich soil. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers, as they can lead to leafy growth instead of healthy roots.
• Weeding – Carrots are sensitive to competition, so keep the soil weed-free, especially during the early stages of growth.
• Pest Control – Keep an eye out for pests such as aphids, root maggots, and carrot flies. You can use organic insecticides or practice crop rotation to reduce pest issues.
• Thinning – Thin your carrot seedlings once they are a few inches tall to allow space for proper root development.
• Harvest – Carrots are usually ready to harvest in 60-75 days, depending on the variety. Harvest when the roots are thick and orange. The flavor is best when harvested young.
