Kratom / Ketum (Mitragyna speciosa) - bulk quantity (1 g)

Growing this wild plant from seed is not complicated, since the plant also self-seeds and has a quite good germination capacity. The sowing should take place at approx. 5mm depth, pre-culture can start in the early spring from February, whereby the seedlings may be planted only after the last frosts. Direct sowing is possible from April, planting distance about 30cm.

The best location is in the half-shade but it can also thrive in the sun if the soil is fertile and permeable. It tolerates sandy and loamy soil well but needs a good water supply without any waterlogging. Mature columbine plants are hardy.
