Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
To grow Koral carrots successfully, select a site with loose, sandy soil that is well-drained and low in nitrogen, as too much nitrogen encourages leafy tops rather than root development. Regular watering is important, especially during the early stages, to ensure uniform moisture and prevent the roots from splitting.
When to Grow
Koral carrots are best planted in early spring, 2-3 weeks before the last frost, when soil temperatures are consistently between 50-75 F. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in the fall. The variety typically takes about 75 days to mature, so plan accordingly to avoid the hottest summer temperatures, which can make carrots fibrous.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow the seeds about 1/8 inch deep in rows 12 inches apart. Space the seeds 1 inch apart within the row. Carrot seeds can be challenging to handle due to their small size, so using seed tape or mixing seeds with sand can help with even distribution. Lightly firm the soil over the seeds and keep it consistently moist until germination, which usually takes 12-18 days. Once the seedlings are about 2-3 inches tall, thin them to 2-3 inches apart. This spacing allows the roots to grow without competition​.
How to Grow
Full sun is best for Koral carrots, needing at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. The ideal temperature for optimal growth is 50-75 F. Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture. Overwatering or inconsistent watering can cause the roots to crack or split.
How to Save
Koral carrots are biennial, meaning they will flower and produce seeds in their second year. To save seeds, allow some of the best plants to overwinter and flower the following spring. Once the seed heads dry, collect them and store them in a cool, dry place. Make sure to separate the seeds from the chaff to prevent mold during storage​.
FAQ
Can Koral carrots be grown in containers?
Yes, they can be grown in containers that are at least 12 inches deep. Ensure the container is placed in full sun and water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist​.
How often should I fertilize Koral carrots?
Fertilize about 5-6 weeks after planting with a low-nitrogen fertilizer to encourage root growth rather than foliage.
What is the ideal soil pH for Koral carrots?
The ideal soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral, ranging from 6.0 to 7.0​.
