Tips to Grow White Carrot:

  1. Arrange good quality of white carrot seeds.
  2. The soil should be loamy and well-drained in nature. It should be moist but not wet or soggy
  3. Sow seeds ½ inch deep and 1-2 inches apart in the soil. When the plants are 4 inches tall, thin them to 2-4 inches apart.
  4. We can add compost or manure for better growth.
  5. You’ll know when to harvest your crop when the diameter of the roots reaches 1.3 cm. Do not pull out the carrot holding just the foliage. You will end up with just the leaves if you don’t pull the vegetable along with its leaves.
  6. We can continuously sow new seeds in every 2-3 weeks to get continuous supply.
