For larger plants, thin seedlings to around 10 cm apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep plants well watered during dry weather, as inconsistent moisture can cause the leaves to become tougher and more strongly flavoured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed regularly with a suitable liquid fertiliser to encourage healthy leaf growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest individual outer leaves as required, leaving the central growing point intact. The plants will continue to produce fresh leaves after harvesting. Regular harvesting also helps extend the productive period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHOP SEEDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54049227735354,"sku":null,"price":7.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/3245\/7530\/files\/rocket-runway-eruca-sativa-8455097.png?v=1789259286","url":"https:\/\/www.shopseeds.com.au\/products\/rocket-runway-eruca-sativa","provider":"SHOP SEEDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
