How to Grow Spinach (Amaranth) from Leaf
This is a red spinach (Amaranth) plant that has been harvested for the second time
and today we will share how to grow spinach from the leaves, not from seeds
what we need is a 2 kg plastic bag, it doesn't have to be new, you can recycle
and this is regular soil, it doesn't have to be fertile
because root growth tends to be faster in soil that is less fertile
we cut the spinach like this
we include the stem a little, because in this branching area new shoots will grow
we can fill one plastic bag with 4-5 leaves, but here we only fill 2
then add a little water if the soil is a bit dry
but if the soil is wet, don't add water
blow into it then tie it with a rubber band
this will provide enough carbon dioxide so that the leaves stay alive and photosynthesize
then put them in a shaded place that is not exposed to direct sunlight
this is after 2 weeks
for you who are new to this channel, you may be confused as to why put them in a plastic bag?
why didn't I just plant the leaves directly in the soil like with other plants
planting cuttings directly in the ground can be done for plants or parts of plants that are resistant to dehydration
for example, woody stems, or very thick leaves
while thin leaves and non-woody stems like spinach will quickly become dehydrated and die after being cut
by putting it in plastic like this will prevent dehydration
and give the plant time to stay alive while growing new roots to be able to take water from the soil
the leaves are even still fresh and not wilted
and while they are inside this plastic container, there is no need to water it at all
because the water in the soil that evaporates will be trapped in the plastic container, condensates, and then fall back to the ground
so it's like continuous mini rain
we take this out to see the roots
but if you try it later, you can just plant it directly,
this is just to show that the roots have indeed grown
this is only in 2 weeks, the root is much more robust compared to if we plant from seeds
then we can plant them in the final container, use fertile planting media
we usually use a mixture of soil and compost 1:1
take care of it as usual
and after 3-4 weeks we will be able to harvest them
This method is 2-3 weeks faster compared to growing from seeds

Rainy season me bhi aise polybag me grow kare
Nice! I like the music too!
thank you
The seeds brought from the stores do not tell you what kind they are. All they show on the packaging that they are cape gooseberry and the number of seeds the packet contains.
they usually have the fruit picture on the packaging
I believe this is Physalis pruinosa. The fruit you can buy at Trader Joes and other stores, is Physalis peruviana, a larger plant with larger fruit. I have grown peruviana and it is easy to sprout and grow. It will reseed and self propagate. Fund to grow and kids love them!
I appreciate the the information, just a real quick question. Those bags, where did you leave them?? In the dark? Or just somewhere they would get normal amounts of light? I have one and want to clip a branch and make more.
not in the dark, just shaded area, not exposed to direct sunlight
@@NoSweatGardening sweet! Thanks a bunch!
@@browniesauce you're welcome :)
Mine reseed yearly for 12 years and there are literally 750-1000 seedlings in their area. Easiest plant to grow that I'm aware of. Although there are myriad varieties. My favorite for just aethetics are the elephant head amaranth. Delicious young plants, too.
wow 12 years, nice
Who are you? You are like me.
greetings, I'm from Indonesia
Love your video! What kind of fish is in the pond?
Thank you, theyre tilapia
@@NoSweatGardeningthank you for the quick response. This plant is illegal in many states in the US, and as a Taiwanese American I really miss this particular vegetable!! I look forward to growing it for my mom and I to enjoy again ❤
@@julieaz1560 best of luck they're pretty easy to grow and as an Asian, we can't live without it :)
How long did it take to bring fruit again?
about 6-8 weeks
It’s not flowering
wait for 2 weeks
Soil mixture please
soil and compost 1:1
I cannot find clear bags that shape or similar. Any ideas?
you van use any plastic bag, the principal is the same, I use a 2 kg plastic bag
@@NoSweatGardening yeah...the shape is eluding me...thanks
@@JuniorFarquar 😁 you're welcome
I grow elephant head amaranth...seeds are super smal but they produce millions per plant. Mine grow up to 6 feet or more tall. They self-propogate beyond belief. The young plants are delicious.
amazing, but here we usually consume the plant while it's rather young (before flowering)
@@NoSweatGardening many species, some as you know, have large seeds which have been ground into flour for centuries. The elephant head is more showy...look it up! Thanks for responding!
@@JuniorFarquar wow elephant head has beautiful flower
In spring only or is summer ok, too? Locally, they started dropping flowers about 3 days ago. Great demo. Thanks.
you can propagate them like this during any season
@@NoSweatGardening thanks so much...subbed earlier, too
@@JuniorFarquar thanks a lot :)
wow this is actually amazing
thank you
Would this work if you direct sew the cut parts into a pot? I assume the bag is for humidity, as ive read these are practically treated as tropical plants, but is the bag a necessary part of the process? Im using my mimosa in a fairy garden and it would be so much easier for me to put the cuttings directly into pots, as i wont have to mess up the garden surroundings by digging around too much.
it might work, but maybe the success rate will be lower, by putting it in a bag i reduces the evaporation a lot, so the plant doesn't dehydrate until it can grow some roots to pick up water from the soil
Love it! simple , easy & straight to the point!
thank you
I read that they prefer sandy soil
it can thrive in harsh environment with very little water
They grow in Missouri clay just fine.
i can't wait but am growing in the UK so keeping in pots and mostly indoors. it's too cold here. not sure if it will fruit
best of luck
you didn't need to cover the square pan ?
no need, just place them on shaded area, it still needs indirect sunlight for photosynthesis
microplastics in soil from containers though?
unfortunately everything is made out of plastic these days, however without heating, the microplastic released is minimal, and plant roots can filter most of these, therefore microplastics in plants is much lower than in animal, moreover the microplastics in plants are mostly in the roots, so unless you eat the roots, you're fine
Here I was worrying about how I'd adapt them to a terrarium, and then you propagate them by just making temporary terrariums. Good to know lol.
he.he.he
Very nice. The Mayans used this type of method to grow a lot of vegetables. I want land and a pond to make floating beds. Love it. Thanks for the video!! Happy growing 💜
thank you :)
For the past 2 years I have planted the seeds, and they germinated, even grew to about a metre tall but no fruits. Why is that ? Grows, but no fruit. Leaves fall.
maybe the temperature in your area is too cold? physalis needs at least 13-18 deg. celcius and can tolerate up to 30 deg. celcius
@@NoSweatGardening I live in sub-tropical climate in Queensland, Australia.
@@peterbrown2882 hmm curious, now the only think I can think of is the soil has too much nitrogen, maybe go easy on the fertilizer
In my experience, they won't flower until they're about 4 ft tall; also you might have the peruviana, not the pruinosa, which is the one he is growing. Also it is normal for leaves to yellow and fall off as the plant branches out.
Was there any algae growing since the bottle is clear?
no, we keep the moisture balamced
Is this the Acacia dealbata?
no, Mimosa Pudica
¡Gracias! Lo tengo que intentar, he probado poniendo tallos en agua, en tierra y no brotan, como sí hacen muchas plantas. Saludos

Great.. I want to try
Do you need to change the pond water and how often is it?
no, you don't need to change the water
The title says no electricity. Does it mean it works with no filter and no pump? What type of fish is in the pond and will it really not dies of the lack of oxygen? 10:02 I thought that number of plants will be for a small fish pond farm. Is there any float alternative to PET plastic bottles? 4:40 Are those cocopeat and animal waste compost? 7:55 Will those 12 cuttings produce more than from seeds? Is planting from cutings is easier than from seeds?
- in my pond is tilapia - you can use any planting medium, whatever available, water spinach is not picky - it produces the same, but faster
I am a beekeeper, and the honey from Mimosa trees is very tasty.
wow nice info
She
Ikut menyimak
Wow, great idea! But can I put some a little bit water into it?
it depends on the waste you use, kitchen waste usually already have large amount of water, so you don't need to add any water, whereas fallen leaves have very little moisture so you will need to add some water
@@NoSweatGardening thx but can I put more dead leaves instead of kitchen wastes?
@@RM_Prime yes of course, here is a video of me composting ONLY with dead leaves, the basic is the same, czcams.com/video/7bnPhBe0Geo/video.html
Sunlight necessary for decomposing process?
no, not necessary
When planting in the plastic is the compost/soil wet?
no need to add water
Wow thank you for this info, but i'm wondering does the curly leaves need to be cut off or not?
yes, you should cut all the curled leaves, they can no longer function properly
@@NoSweatGardening I see, thanks for the answer.

Thabk you for the tutorial i will be trying this my plant since my seeds failed me 😢
good luck :)
Good tip but i don't have a rainwater harvesting pool.
you can use any large container like tub
Wow - 15 mins? I saute them in a Chinese Black bean sauce with ground pork. My mom used to stuff them with diced pork/ shrimp/ onion and steam them. Served with white rice. I guess it's sorta like eating hot peppers - how bitter can you eat? (i wonder if there's a bitterness scale....)
I guess I'm a weak one :)
so the seeds from the bitter melons I buy at the supermarket won't work huh?
only if the bittermelon is yellow, if it's still green then it won't work
Thanks! I'm growing a few. So I'll let them go yellow and then gather the seeds. So here's a followup question - can we make Bitter Melon Beer? HAHAHAH....You could get rich! I'll buy a case from you! (it's just yeast, sugar and crushed bitter melon fermented right?) I'll have to do some research.
they make wine from Pineapples. If they can do that, I don't see why we can't make Bitter Melon Beer. (I think that's a cool beer name - it'll get people's attention! HAH! )
@@ronchun4484 it's REALLY bitter, I only eat it while it's still green, after boiled for 15 minutes, even after that I have to eat it with something spicy to cover the bitterness
