Step 3: Sow the Seeds
Scatter the tiny seeds over moist soil and press them gently into the surface. Cover only very lightly, as many Amaranthus seeds germinate better when exposed to light. Keep the growing medium evenly moist.

Step 4: Water and Care for Seedlings
Maintain consistent soil moisture without overwatering. Once seedlings develop a few true leaves, thin or transplant them carefully to provide enough growing space. Avoid disturbing the delicate roots.
