In colder regions, pre-cultivation in pots under cover from March is recommended. Depth: Sow seeds 2–3 cm deep. Spacing: Place seeds 30–40 cm apart in the row. Row spacing 50–60 cm. Germination: Germination takes 7 to 14 days depending on soil temperature. Cultivation: Soil: Rich in organic matter, deep, and well-drained. Watering: Regular, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging. Care: Hill up the plants when they are 20–30 cm tall to promote good anchorage. Remove weeds. Pollination: Corn is wind-pollinated. To obtain beautiful, well-formed ears, cultivate at least 2–3 plants close together to promote good cross-pollination. Harvest and Use: For consumption: Harvest young ears before the kernels become hard. The taste is less sweet than conventional sweet corn. For decoration: Allow the ears to fully ripen on the plant. When the silks turn brown and the kernels are firm, cut the ears and dry them in an airy, dry place. Packaging: 300 seeds.
