Keep the soil consistently moist during germination. Chickweed prefers fertile, moisture-retentive soil and cool growing conditions. Germination may take 2–5 weeks and can be somewhat variable. Seed may remain dormant yet viable in the soil for extended periods, with plants often appearing when conditions become favourable. Harvest the young leaves and stems regularly to encourage fresh growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1918\" data-end=\"2042\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1918\" data-end=\"2042\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46375847985370,"sku":"prefix_681c1f71ea0af6.29071321","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/C3F7B3F4-F2E3-4852-B3A7-86000248941D.jpg?v=1781743186","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/chickweed-687","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
