Caring for Radish Plants

Grow your own radishes with our Balcony Buckets!

Radishes thrive with lots of moisture, so ensure the top inch of soil is never dry. They thrive in cool weather in a spot where they can receive direct sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. If the weather is extremely hot, consider moving radishes into a light shade to prevent overheating. In the winter, move your radishes to an indoor spot with lots of light or contact us and ask about overwintering your plant till spring. 

Radish plants can look like a leafy bouquet when planted close together but overcrowding can stunt the growth of their bulbs and lead to pests. To avoid these issues, consider trimming your radish plants until they are 5cm apart from each other. 

When radishes are larger than an inch in diameter, you can harvest them by gently pulling them from the soil without damaging the roots
