DÉTAILS

Instructions d'entretien
Sacha Inchi requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm, humid conditions and prefers moderate temperatures. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist. The plant benefits from a humid environment, so misting the leaves can be helpful.
Récolte
Plukenetia volubilis, commonly known as Sacha Inchi, is typically ready for harvest about 8 months after planting. The harvest period can extend over several months as the pods mature at different times. Harvesting involves picking the mature, brown, and dry pods by hand. It is important to handle the pods carefully to avoid damaging the seeds inside. After harvesting, the pods are usually sun-dried to facilitate the extraction of seeds. The seeds are then further dried to reduce moisture content before storage or processing.
Sol
Sacha Inchi prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Engrais
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruit production.
Rempotage
Repot Sacha Inchi when it outgrows its current container, typically every 1-2 years. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, place it in the new one, and fill with fresh soil.
Propagation
Sacha Inchi can be propagated from seeds. Sow the seeds in a well-draining soil mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment. Germination typically occurs within 2-3 weeks. Transplant the seedlings to larger pots or directly into the ground once they are strong enough.
Taille
Prune Sacha Inchi regularly to encourage bushier growth and to remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning also helps to manage the plant's size and shape. Perform pruning during the growing season.
Toxicité
Sacha Inchi is not toxic to pets or humans. However, the seeds should be roasted before consumption to remove any potential anti-nutritional factors.
Supplémentaire
Sacha Inchi is valued for its seeds, which are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and antioxidants. The plant is also used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties.
