Ashwagandha Growing Season In India  

Ashwagandha prefers dry, hot, and humid conditions to grow otherwise it will grow slowly; sow the ashwagandha seeds in the summer or early monsoon season (March-July) when the temperature is at least 20°C. 

How To Grow Ashwagandha In Pots  

Ashwagandha is very suitable for growing in pots as it is easy to move according to their growing conditions. Ashwagandha seeds can be sown directly into any pot or transplanted, but transplanting is recommended by most gardeners. To plant ashwagandha, you need a pot or grow bag of at least 30-35 cm (width and height) with well-draining holes. You can sow ashwagandha seeds either indoors or outdoors in warm climates and the optimum temperature for seed germination is between 20-30°C.  

Ashwagandha Seeds Sowing Method 

Select a seedling tray or small-sized pot (up to 15cm deep), fill it with a growing medium such as coco peat or perlite, and spread the ashwagandha seeds over it, then cover with a thin layer of soil over the seeds. Water gently and keep the soil moist. Keep the seedling tray in a location where it receives proper sunlight. Ashwagandha seeds will germinate within 7-21 days (depending on the growing conditions). After the seeds have germinated, when the plant reaches 8-10 cm tall, you can transplant it into a larger pot or grow bag.

Best Fertilizer For Ashwagandha plants 

Since the roots of Ashwagandha have medicinal uses there is no need for fertilizers; However, you can add organic fertilizer (vermicompost, coco peat, or cow manure), old manure, or compost near the base of the plants.
