How To Grow Beetroot Plants at Home

🌿 How To Grow Beetroot Plants at Home

Beetroot is a nutrient-packed root vegetable that’s rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It’s not only healthy but also adds vibrant color to your garden and kitchen. With the right care and Garden365 products, you can grow beetroot easily at home, whether in a garden bed or a container.

🌱 Choosing the Right Spot

Beetroots need 6–8 hours of sunlight daily to grow strong and sweet. Place your plant in a sunny garden bed, balcony, or terrace. For container gardening, Garden365 HDPE Grow Bags are perfect for root development and easy maintenance.

🪴 Soil Requirements

Beetroot prefers loose, fertile, well-draining soil. Use this mix for best results:

• Garden365 Potting Mix – provides essential nutrients for healthy roots

• Garden365 Cocopeat – retains moisture while keeping soil light

• Garden365 Red Soil – adds structure and minerals

Ideal soil pH: 6.0–7.0. This combination prevents root splitting and ensures smooth, tender beets.

💧 Watering Needs

• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

• Water 2–3 times a week or when the topsoil feels dry.

• Reduce watering in rainy seasons to avoid root rot.

💡 Pro Tip: Always plant in containers with drainage holes like Garden365 HDPE Grow Bags to protect roots from excess water.

🌿 Sowing and Care

• Sow beetroot seeds directly into the soil ½ inch deep, spaced 2–3 inches apart.

• Thin seedlings after 3–4 weeks to maintain 3–4 inches between plants.

• Mulch lightly with Garden365 Cocopeat to retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

🧴 Fertilization Tips

Healthy beetroots need regular feeding:

• Apply Garden365 Panchagavya every 3–4 weeks to boost growth.

• Enrich soil with Garden365 Vermicompost or Organic Manure every 2 months.

• Use Garden365 Plant Micronutrients for optimal nutrient absorption.

• Avoid excess nitrogen fertilizer to prevent leafy growth at the expense of roots.

🌸 Pest and Disease Management

• Aphids & Leaf Miners: Spray Garden365 Agni Astra Spray.

• Root Rot: Ensure proper drainage using Garden365 HDPE Grow Bags or raised beds.

• Fungal Issues: Avoid overhead watering and maintain airflow between plants.

✂️ Harvesting Beetroot

• Beetroots are ready to harvest in 50–70 days, depending on variety.

• Gently loosen soil around roots before pulling them out to avoid breakage.

• Wash and trim greens; beet greens are also edible and nutritious.

🏡 Growing in Pots vs. Ground

• Pots/Containers: Use Garden365 HDPE Grow Bags (12–15 inches deep) for healthy root development.

• Ground/Raised Beds: Mix Garden365 Potting Mix, Cocopeat, and Red Soil to create the perfect growing medium.
