Ajwain plants thrive in warm climates and need plenty of sunlight. Choose a sunny spot in your garden or a well-lit indoor area. Ensure the location receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.
Ajwain plants prefer well-draining, sandy loam soil with good fertility. Prepare the soil by mixing compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients. Ensure that the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral (6.5-7).
Ajwain can be grown from seeds. Sow the seeds in small pots or directly in the garden. Sprinkle the seeds lightly over the soil and press them down gently. Cover with a thin layer of soil and water gently.
Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as Ajwain plants are sensitive to waterlogging. Water when the topsoil feels dry, especially during dry periods.
Ajwain plants prefer warm temperatures between 20-30°C (68-86°F). Ensure proper ventilation to maintain humidity levels as high humidity can lead to fungal issues.
Regularly weed the area around the Ajwain plant to prevent competition for nutrients. Prune the plant occasionally to remove dead or damaged leaves, promoting healthy growth.
Ajwain seeds will typically take 3-4 months to mature. Once the plant blooms, the seeds can be harvested once they turn brown and dry naturally on the plant. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place for future use.
