Detailed guide to growing peanuts in pots: you can grow them well at home too
Shell the peanut kernels and soak them in water for a week; the final soaking time should still depend on the condition of the seeds, and you must change the water every day! During soaking, remove the inner skin of the peanut kernels.
Choose a holeless pot of suitable size, fill it 9 parts full with potting soil, and bury the peanut kernels half-length into the soil in “ostrich style” (sprout point facing down, bottom facing up), with 1-2 mm between seeds, then spray water until the soil is moist.
After a week, the peanuts will gradually sprout one after another, and the soil must be kept moist the whole time. If they grow like crazy, do not expose them to strong sun; if the root system is not fully developed and transpiration is too strong, they will die, and after all that growing you would end up with a pot of roasted peanuts, would that make you happy?
After sprouting, they start growing like crazy as if cheating; at this point, if you think the leaves are not green enough, you can sun them for 1-2 hours when the sunlight is not strong.
Such a cute little potted plant, can you recognize it as a peanut? It is simply awesome, are you not going to get one right away?
If cared for properly, it can even produce small yellow flowers~ Next, Huahua will introduce the peanut growing method to everyone, super simple!
Step 1: Soaking the seeds
Find a cup, pour some water into the cup, then put the peanuts in and soak them overnight so the peanuts fully absorb water, and that is it.
Step 2: Sowing
Peanuts are not strict about soil; ordinary garden soil is fine. Bury the seeds at a depth about 2~3 times the size of the peanut, and remember to water thoroughly after sowing.
Step 3: Care
After the peanuts emerge, remember to place them in a spot with plenty of light, and do not forget to water them; they will soon grow lush and full of leaves!
There are also friends who grow peanuts hydroponically, and that is especially great too!
