I don't have winter here so I have no knowledge of that but from readings it does state that the spinach is not frost hardy. Best to protect or cover during winter or move to a green house..:)
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Thanks! Most winters we don't get frost but it does happen so I'll just lay some plastic sheeting over them and hope for the best if frost comes
@@tonycd2709 - I bought some sprouts of it on ebay. It thrived but then one winter I didn't protect it well enough and it all died. You really have to protect it well in the winter if you're considering it. If I could do it again I'd have a string of xmas lights to create warmth, with a tarp over that
Nice video, digging the music. When you transplant it do you have to cut off all the side nodes like you've done here? I'm trying to find info, I have 10 cuttings. I read somewhere you only cut the side nodes off if you're wanting it to spread out on the ground like a mulch
hi Chaplin! Thanks for coming over to my channel! Because I grow them for consumption typically what I do is i cut off the whole plant so it will regrow back fully for my next harvest. Brazilian spinach doesn't grow very tall it stays about 1 feet high, so if you only cut the side nodes, it makes sense for the sides to grow you new spread whilst keeping the middle intact. I believe that will give you a nice spread out for ground cover or mulch. :)
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday - Awesome thanks. Yeah I'm going for the ground mulch thing, and I chose Brazilian due to its heat tolerance. I'm in Texas. Mine will be in shade most part of the day and used as ground cover. I only have 10 cuttings so I was wondering how to get it to spread since it's not self seeding. I guess I can just keep taking cuttings, and replant around the existing, to help it spread faster (plus spread it like you were saying, to let the sides go). For now I have them in small pots, and I never picked off the side leaves and it's growing fine like that. It will be so nice to have some leafy greens that don't bolt in our soul shattering heat!
@@ikigai47 yes they are very heat tolerant and the best part quite pest free! Give them a bit more water they will grow quite fast and happy. You have to keep taking cuttings and continue to sow to ground to expand your plant :). Have fun!
Hugs from Brazil!

hi! If you can find finland spinach, it is very similar to brazilian spinach! Easy to grow from stems too :)
We plant these Brazilian spinach at home and it taste very good.
Have you tried Finnish spinach..you should look out for that one too!
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtodaycany find it
great work
Many many thanks. Appreciate that :)
you are most welcome
I've started my batch of Brazilian spinach this year but I'm very concerned, will it die over the winter? I'm in Dallas, TX (zone 8a)

Been looking for cuttings since last year. M in UK . Hopefully next spring will start my search early.
Hi Chaplin, how's your Brazilian spinach? Where did you buy the plant? I'm in Dallas too. Thanks.
