Product Description:
The Organic Longevity Spinach Plant, also known as Okinawa Spinach, is a beautiful, low maintenance perennial leaf vegetable. It typically grows to 27 inches high and has shiny green leaves with a stunning purple underside. The plant is hardy and relatively pest-free, thriving in warm and wet conditions. It is sensitive to frost, so it grows best in subtropical and tropical areas. The plant needs ample water, rich, fertile, well-drained soil that is kept mulched, and prefers a pH of between 6.1 and 6.5. This listing offers one perfectly healthy starter Okinawa spinach plant that is 4-6 inches tall.

Benefits:
The Organic Longevity Spinach Plant is a highly nutritious vegetable that can be eaten raw or cooked. It has a crisp, nutty taste with a faint hint of pine. The leaves and young shoot tips can be steamed, used in stir fry, tempura, stews, and soups. This leafy green is also known as cholesterol spinach, and there are many claims that it lowers cholesterol. The young leaves have a much better flavor than the older leaves. The vivid leaf color makes this a good choice as a background plant in ornamental beds. Okinawa Spinach can be used in landscaping as a groundcover in full sun (with enough water) or it does well in partial shade. It is very adaptable to container gardening and hanging baskets and will grow inside on a windowsill with good light.

Usage:
To plant the Organic Longevity Spinach Plant, cuttings 4-8 inches long should be half buried in potting mix and kept moist. Cuttings are best taken when the soil temperature is at least 25°C. Rooting the cutting in water before planting will improve results. The plant responds well to pruning, rapidly becoming bushy. Pruning also prolongs its life. Space plants at 30 inches apart.

Quality Assurance:
We guarantee that the Organic Longevity Spinach Plant you will receive is healthy and free from any pests or diseases. We take great care in packaging and shipping our plants, ensuring that they arrive in excellent condition.
