What insects are eating my Medania spinach? Aphids love biting into young spinach seedlings and sucking the sap from your young plant. You can kill the aphids by making a simple solution of 1 tablespoon of dishwater to 4 liters of water and spraying your spinach. Make sure to check and spray the underside of your plant as well.
How long does it take to germinate Medania spinach seeds? Sow your Medania spinach seeds into cool, moist soil. Your spinach seeds will take about 5-9 days to complete germination and begin to sprout. If the soil it too warm or wet then your seeds may begin to rot.
What grows well with Medania spinach? Aubergines, leeks, lettuce, and peas grow really well with spinach and you should consider planting near each other for a healthier garden. Companion planting increases production and can help improve the taste of your homegrown veggies.
