How to Grow a Radish Top? A Detailed Guide to the Planting Method

How to grow a radish top?

1. Preparation

Prepare a fresh radish with leaves (carrot or white radish both work), a flower pot (a wide-mouthed container that can hold soil or water), and soil (water).

2. Procedure

Use a knife to cut off the top of the radish (cut it as thick as possible, as this helps it absorb nutrients), plant it in potting soil or in a pot filled with water, then place it in an environment with plenty of light and good ventilation. A soil-planted radish top must not be buried entirely in the soil; about the top 1/3 should be exposed to the air.

3. Care

Generally, a water-grown radish top needs its water changed every day, and the water only needs to cover 1/3 of the radish top. A soil-grown radish top should be watered according to how dry or moist the soil is; just keep it moist.
