Product Description:
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an herb with a long history of culinary and medicinal use. Fenugreek is an annual herb with light green, oblong leaves and small white flowers. It grows to about 2-3 feet tall. The seeds are small, yellowish-brown, and rectangular. They have a distinct, slightly bitter taste and a strong aroma. Commonly used in Indian cuisine, especially in curries, spice blends, and pickles. The seeds can also be sprouted and added to salads. Fresh fenugreek leaves, known as "methi," are used in various dishes for their slightly bitter flavor. Dried leaves, called "kasuri methi," add a distinct taste to dishes. Fenugreek has been used as an ethnobotanical for centuries.

Growing Instructions:
Fenugreek prefers full sun to part shade and well-draining soil. Ensure the soil is well-draining by adding compost or sand. Fenugreek can also fix nitrogen in the soil, which benefits other plants. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Fenugreek thrives in warm to hot and dry conditions. It's native to arid regions around the Mediterranean. Generally, fenugreek doesn't require additional fertilization. However, adding compost can help improve soil quality. Fenugreek leaves can be harvested when they are about 12-14 inches tall, usually around 2.5 months after planting. The seeds can be harvested when the pods turn yellow and dry. Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids. You can use neem oil or garlic spray to manage them. When transplanting, don't disturb the roots too much because they are sensitive.

If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed.
