Description

When preparing a site before the first seeds are sown, Dodder (Cuscuta spp.) fits a seed-grown planting in kitchen gardens. Establish it in full sun with moderately fertile, well-drained soil for a balanced start.

For the first stage of planting, Sow in prepared growing medium when it reaches the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged while seedlings establish, then thin crowded seedlings so the remaining plants have room and airflow, with a reliable routine focused on steady garden habits after sowing.
