How to grow molokhia (mulukhiya) in the ground cultivation. Last time, we planted mulukhiya (jew’s mallow) seeds. About 3 weeks have passed since then. The molokhia has grown enough, so we will thin it.

Thinning out molokhia (Thinning the mulukhiya plants) – Management of jew’s mallow cultivation
The molokhia (mulukhiya) has been growing for about 20 days since seeding. Thin the 3 molokhia plants and leave only 1 plant.

The molokhia (mulukhiya) seeds were sown in late May.
All the water spinach died (The kangkong is all dead)
I planted water spinach next to the molokhia, and it was growing well, but then it all died. The cause was cutworms. Cutworms are caterpillars that come out at night and eat leaves. I found them hiding under the mulch and got rid of them. I replanted the water spinach seeds.

Next time, I want to check more to keep insects from eating the plants.
