Water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) is not strict about soil, but soil that is rich in water and nutrients and has strong water- and fertilizer-holding capacity is more favorable. Water spinach grows vines and leaves rapidly, has a high nutrient demand and strong tolerance to fertilizer. With sufficient fertilizer and water, high quality and high yield can be achieved, but seed-production plots should have fertilizer and water controlled, otherwise the plants easily grow leggy and fail to flower.

Water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) is not strict about soil, but soil that is rich in water and nutrients and has strong water- and fertilizer-holding capacity is more favorable. Water spinach grows vines and leaves rapidly, has a high nutrient demand and strong tolerance to fertilizer. With sufficient fertilizer and water, high quality and high yield can be achieved, but seed-production plots should have fertilizer and water controlled, otherwise the plants easily grow leggy and fail to flower. The base fertilizer for water spinach is mainly farmyard manure and dung; when the amount used is 600-800 cm per 667 sq m, topdressing begins, applied as a 10% human urine drench, once every 7 days, with the concentration gradually increased to 30%; after each harvest, 1 topdressing should be carried out.
