How to Grow Basella Alba?

Malabar Spinach can be grown from seed. Plant the seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. They should germinate in 10 to 20 days. If you want to speed up your seedling's growth, you can either soak the seeds in water overnight before planting or use a knife to open up the hard exterior seed coating.

Can Malabar spinach be grown from cuttings?

Malabar spinach can be grown from either seeds or cuttings, but I find it is easiest to grow from cuttings. In fact, when I am out harvesting leaves and stems and find a stem that is too big or too tough to eat, I simply push it into the soil and most of time it will re-root.

Does Malabar spinach need trellis?

Malabar spinach is a vigorous climbing plant that needs a trellis or other support. It will quickly overtake other plants.
