Instructions d'entretien

Chia plants prefer bright, direct sunlight and moderate temperatures. They should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. The plant thrives in moderate humidity and should be protected from frost. Regular monitoring for pests and diseases is recommended.

Récolte

Salvia hispanica, commonly known as chia, is typically ready for harvest about 120 days after planting. Harvesting should be done when the flowers have dried and the seeds have turned a dark color, usually in late summer to early fall. To harvest, cut the flower heads and place them in a dry, well-ventilated area to further dry. Once fully dried, the seeds can be separated from the flower heads by gently rubbing or shaking. Ensure the seeds are completely dry before storing to prevent mold and spoilage.

Sol

Chia plants prefer well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil is not waterlogged to prevent root rot. A mix of garden soil with some sand and organic matter works well.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant every few weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering.

Rempotage

Repot chia plants when they outgrow their current container, typically every 1-2 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Chia can be propagated from seeds. Sow the seeds directly in the soil after the last frost. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate, which usually takes about 1-2 weeks. Thin the seedlings to allow enough space for growth.

Taille

Prune chia plants to remove dead or damaged leaves and to encourage bushier growth. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.

Toxicité

Chia plants are not toxic to pets or humans. The seeds are edible and are often used in various culinary applications for their nutritional benefits.

Supplémentaire

Chia plants are relatively easy to grow and can be a great addition to a garden. They attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, which can help with the overall health of your garden. Ensure they have enough space to grow and are protected from strong winds.
