Germination and Growing:
The seeds of this plant need temperatures between 24 and 28° to germinate. Until germination, the seeds should always be kept slightly moist, regardless of whether you pre-germinate them or germinate the seeds directly in or on potting soil. It is generally helpful to use a heated mini-greenhouse to increase the germination rate and to provide the seedlings with a favourable climate for their first growth phase. After about 1 to 3 weeks you should be able to spot the first seedlings.
Your Own Peanut Farm in a Pot
The peanut originates from South America and began its triumphal march around the world in the Middle Ages. Today it is cultivated around the globe, with China being the main producer by far. Botanically speaking, the peanut is not a nut, but belongs to the legume family, like peas, for example. Even though this plant only grows to a height of about 50 cm, it needs plenty of sun and warmth if you want to harvest peanuts. After pollination, the flower stalks sink to the ground, where the peanuts grow. The peanut bush bears small yellow flowers between May and August.
