Common mix: 50% loamy soil, 20% organic compost (worm castings, composted cow or chicken manure), 10% clean coconut coir, 10% burnt rice husk, and 10% raw rice husk (or substitute with perlite). Add some NPK fertilizer to the soil mix, or use pre-mixed organic soil. Supplement with Trichoderma antagonist fungi to introduce beneficial microbes into the soil.Light: Provide ample sunlight for photosynthesis and growth; choose a location with direct sunlight, ideally outdoors. Containers: You can use available household containers such as styrofoam boxes, rectangular vegetable planters, or ideally, plant directly in the garden. Care: Transplanting: The best time for transplanting is in the cool afternoon. Water the plants thoroughly before and after transplanting. After transplanting, keep the container in the shade for 3-4 days to allow root recovery.Watering: Adjust watering based on weather conditions, avoiding night watering as it can lead to fungal diseases. In hot weather, water every other day; if soil remains moist, water once daily.Fertilizing: Start applying organic fertilizer 10 days after transplanting, then continue every 10 days.Pruning: About 20 days after transplanting, pinch off the top, leaving three nodes from the base, to encourage branching. Harvesting: After approximately 50 days, you can start cutting the perilla stems, leaving leaf nodes with young buds to promote continuous growth. Good luck with your planting!
