🌿 How To Grow Carrot Plants at Home

Carrots are crunchy, sweet, and packed with nutrients — perfect for your home garden. The good news? You can grow them easily at home using Garden365 products to ensure healthy growth and a bountiful harvest. Here’s a complete guide.

🌱 Choosing the Right Spot

Carrots need 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. For terrace, balcony, or small-space gardening, plant them in Garden365 HDPE Grow Bags for excellent drainage, portability, and root development.

🪴 Soil Requirements

Carrots grow best in loose, well-draining soil to develop straight, healthy roots. Use a mix of:

• Garden365 Potting Mix – nutrient-rich and light for easy root expansion

• Garden365 Cocopeat – retains moisture without waterlogging

• Garden365 Red Soil – adds essential minerals and structure

Ideal soil pH: 6.0–6.8. This mix ensures strong roots, prevents deformities, and provides a perfect home for your carrots.

💧 Watering Needs

• Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate (10–20 days).

• Water gently 2–3 times a week, or when the top layer feels dry.

• Reduce watering during rainy or cold seasons to avoid root rot.

💡 Pro Tip: Always use containers like Garden365 HDPE Grow Bags to improve drainage and root health.

🌿 Sowing and Care

• Sow carrot seeds ¼ inch deep, spaced 2–3 inches apart.

• After 2–3 weeks, thin seedlings using gentle hands to avoid crowding.

• Mulch lightly with Garden365 Cocopeat or organic material to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

🧴 Fertilization Tips

For strong, healthy carrots:

• Use Garden365 Bio Fertilizers every 3–4 weeks to enhance growth.

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

• Apply Garden365 Plant Micronutrients for optimal nutrient absorption.

• Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers to prevent excessive foliage over roots.

🌸 Pest and Disease Management

• Aphids & Mealybugs: Spray Garden365 Neem Oil Spray.

• Root Rot: Ensure proper drainage with Garden365 HDPE Grow Bags.

• Carrot Fly: Cover seedlings with fine netting if needed.

✂️ Harvesting Carrots

• Carrots are ready in 70–80 days, depending on variety.

• Gently brush soil aside to check size, then pull carefully.

• Trim green tops and store in a cool, dry place.

🏡 Growing in Pots vs. Ground

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

• Ground/Raised Beds: Prepare with a combination of Garden365 Potting Mix, Cocopeat, and Red Soil for the perfect carrot-growing medium.
