The spinach belongs to the flat rooting plant. Therefore, her plant pot should be rather wide than deep. If it is well rooted, then top off your velvet bell. Put the plant in loose humus potting soil, which you would like to add to peat or coconut soil.
Pour the spinach and fertilize
Casting is almost a science in itself with spin fruit. The water should be low in lime or even lime free and room warm. Only pour directly onto the soil or the substrate, never onto the leaves or even the flowers of the spinach. This could quickly lead to rot, just as waterlogging easily causes root rot.
Rainwater is ideal for spinach, but you can also use stale tap water. The velvet bell should be poured as regularly as possible, whenever the top soil layer gets slightly dry. Fertilizer needs the spinach only during the growth phase about every 14 days.
The spinach in winter

Multiply the spinach
