Do you think that longevity spinach could be grown hydroponically? I am very interested in growing herbs in a hydroponic set up. The spinach looks like it will get pretty large.
I put my plants in the greenhouse for winter and I had mice. It was all gone in one night. I wasn't going to replace it but being in Florida and having no bugs eat the plant is a plus. And it grows so fast. Loves the rainy season. I just throw it in my kale shakes. A year later... I finally decided to taste it cooked. It was so much better than regular spinach. I try not to over cook my food so I brought it up to a boil then shut it off. It was perfect.
I live in Atlanta, Georgia and was pleased to find that my longevity spinach came back in my raised bed. We get heavy frosts and snow here, and this tropical plant actually survived. I also have been getting malabar spinach to come back every year as well.
Great ,I live in east Texas and am looking for healthy plants to grow in my upcoming garden.I am looking into pigeon peas and Chaya and am wondering if they will come back after the cold winter.
@@formckee1 I also live in Alabama, in the North. What I do to save the longevity spinach for the next year is save the cutting just like what he did for planting but I put them in a glass of water. They will start to root. Makes it easy to plant in the spring.
I have an Indian friend that is an awesome cook. She taught me how to use and grow turmeric, mustard seeds, fenugreek and of course curry leaves! I'm grateful for what she shared. ❤️🌱☺️
Finally made the recipe today and it was superb. I added a heavy dose of ginger. garlic. onions ,curry .Marsala, cayenne pepper and tumeric, It was so good
I have this plant in my garden my frie d from church gave it to me and she does not tell what type of plant. So i installed the plant identifier and the result is longevity plant spinach. Im shocked by the benefits and it already grew very well. I harvested it right away and ate it haha
It's winter here in florida. My spinach grew all over the garden area of my yard but the cold will knock it back for sure. I took several cuttings and put them in a jar of water. Ready for spring with roots.
I just bought three baby plants and was wondering what to do with them. Your video answered all my questions and gave me a brilliant recipe too. Thanks! Going to plant them in a pot now.
Thanks again, I’ve watched many of your videos. They are extremely informative! This one is very interesting as the spinach resembles a house plant, and I have never heard of it. Keep up your great work.
Hello, I subscribed to your channel as this video was so helpful! I have one plant I grew from a cutting, and made one for my mother, and was wondering on the best way we should harvest. So your pruning information was exactly what we needed to know. I enjoyed the recipe! I will be planting fenugreek and curry to cook with those leaves as well. What I love most about longevity spinach is how beautiful it is just as a plant that looks more like a house plant!
Great video. I appreciate the words on the screen so I could easily screenshot. And the recipe! I am getting one of these plants tomorrow and look forward to having the addition in my garden.
I love in Barbados and at the .one t had two longevity spinach plants which I got from one of my sisters..sadly I have a lot of blight which attacks all my plants and trees and it has now spread to one of the longevity spinach plants. Thanks for the recipe.
Just received my longevity spinach plants today. I can hardly wait until tomorrow so I can plant them. I also have Strawberry Spinach & Egyptian Spinach I am trying this year. I am in zone 7b
Great video - well done. I am growing Longevity spinach for 2 years now and I am delighted by this plant. It is a perennial and very hardy as well. Thank you for your video
I’ve grown longevity spinach this summer on my balcony facing west. It has grown so big, I sometimes eat some of it. But now fall has arrived here in Canada. So I’ve brought it inside, unfortunately the leaves are weak and turned yellow. So now I’m thinking I’ll cut most of it from the top and propagate into smaller pots and share with neighbours. But I’ll also make stir fry and soup with some of the big green leaves.
In California also zone 10a. I have this plant in the ground now and it grows so well it’s crazy. I do have a pest (grasshoppers) that love hanging out and eat the plant. Still a great plant !
This plant is super easy to plant and it lives forever ( longevity 😊). I neglected it over the summer and recently set it by the sprinkler and it grows back so nicely, I love the plant! Just not sure how to consume it. Thanks for the info
Thank you so much for sharing your technique and how to grow the spinach and how to propagate it I was wondering what to do because I might just grill it up and up and up and up and I guess if I cut it it will grow stems from the side and that’s how it will make it fluffy I just bought more stems to put around it because it is growing tall… So now I cut the tops off and cook it and put it in a salad thank you again so much I did put the other stems that I purchase into the soil now I will start cutting my tops off and put them into the soil to make it a full or plant thank you so Subscribed and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos keep up the good work
Thanks for a very informative video . I just purchased a plant . I’ve never heard of it before and I didn’t know any details about growing it . I was also glad to hear that it’s good for diabetes since I was recently diagnosed. It’s a win win plant for me .
I bought some on ebay, there was 30 plants at the end of winter now,I was left with about 10 plants.looking forward to put them in a pot outside for summer.never try them I do like the benefit of it, tgsnk you for sharing.
Thank you for another informative and delightful video. Always clear and to the point. Received my first cuttings from Baker Creek. Looking forward to grow them.
Thank you so much for all your videos. I have learned so much from you. I live in the Central Valley in California, so learning your methods and appropriate plants helps a lot. Thank you!!
Thank you so much👌👍good recipes and very good information about this new kind of spinach. We can get this spinach from Home Depot or Lowes. We like your pronunciation it doesn't matter turmeric with first R silent or not. We understand everything you explain. Good job buddy 👍keep 😀God bless you :)
I just bought a plant of longevity spinach, being a diabetic as a result of medication necessary after a kidney transplant, I look forward to see whether and to what degree it works.
Longevity spinach is DELICIOUS raw, sweet and has a crunch to it. Mine has grown slowly since I purchased a plant one year ago. (Perhaps it is the 50°F nights during the summer. I also brought it inside for the winter as we have many temps below freezing.) I also have a Kalanchoe I bring in every winter. The Kalanchoe always has an outbreak of aphids in January. It was beside my Longevity Spinach plant and the aphids decided they liked the longevity spinach as well as the Kalanchoe and we have been fighting for ownership of my Longevity Spinach ever since. Anyone out there who knows how the help? (I've been mashing aphids, trying to spray them off with water, and then with soapy water...aphids keep coming back!) Thanks in advance for your ideas Cheers from Oregon.
I have Caterpillars and Grasshoppers that eat mine. They love it. So everyday at night I have to go outside and get all the Caterpillars that are active when it is dark.
Loved your video. It was very informative and easy to follow. Now I know what to do with my Gynura precumbens plant. Thank you! Thank you for the recipe as well. Will definately give it a try. :)
Enjoyed watching your video. My Gynura Procumbens was growing so well and I would add it to salad, soups and smoothies and also eat them raw. But from August this year I faced a problem here in Pune. I noticed Giant African snails in my garden for the first time. They are night feeders and can destroy crops and that's exactly what they did feasted on my Talinum Triangulare, Malabar spinach, Gynura Procumbens, Gynura pseudochina etc. etc. I did not want to use pesticides in the garden. Initially I thought they would go away but then when I noticed my plants reduced to sticks, I had to make a decision save my plants or the snails, so got those snails picked up and put in a plastic bag containing salt. Please let me know if there's any other way of getting rid of those Giant African snails. I did manage to take cuttings of some plants and are water propagating them.
I cook it as I would Egyptian Molokhia. Sautee onion on olive oil. Add pieces of chicken- drumsticks, brown a little. Add cumin, garlic, salt, pepper, coriander, Cinnamon. In between chop spinach to tiniest slices. Chop coriander leaves and peel garlic. Add A LITTLE chicken broth to the pot with frying chicken. Cook till nearly done. Add chopped spinach to meat. Cook. In between fry chopped green coriander on olive oil, add crushed garlic, add to meat with spinach and turn off.. Serve with rice or pita bread or both. Try it. You will not regret.
I have 2 plants that are growing, but are growing slowly. Do you have any recommendations? I have one in morning sun and the other in afternoon sun, but both get 6-8 hours of sun per day. They are in small containers - maybe 3-5 gallon pots, with peat, compost, and perlite. I have added a little fish fertilizer every couple of weeks. I wonder if maybe they are getting too much sun? Yours seem to grow very quickly.
Thanks this was an interesting video. I have two questions: will it grow inside in a sunny window? It gets cold outside where I live, I have it in my garden, but will need to move it somewhere before cold weather.. My second question about making tea- is it better with fresh or dry leaves? Thanks again for your generosity in sharing this video.
It's Southeast tropical, doesn't like cold or too much sun (4 hours). You can drink fresh tea if your harvest is limited. But when you have way extra, you can dehydrated the leaves and store it for tea.
Love your videos. The amazon link to the plant you gave below does not work. I live in southern California as well. Which store around here would sell that plant? Thanks
Yes I would like to know where you get this plant, or seeds please ? Looks very beneficial to the body ! Also maby the mind as well ! Thank you for your work !!
i would warn you to make sure if you do get them from Etsy that the plant is from the United States. If not you will not get your plant or cuttings because of customs. I got mine from bakercreek.
I love spinach and I would like to grow long lasting spinach.I grow normal spinach in spring and winter spinach in late Autumn. Thanks for your valuable tips. Best wishes Patrick
Thank you so much for this. I have several of these plants but didn't know how to eat them. Is there a way you can put this recipe into a pdf format for download? Thank you in advance.
Hi, I love your videos, wanted to ask one thing about pomogranates. I have grown one from seed with no intention of eating the fruits, all i want is the flowers..so I want to know whether poms grown from seed bear flower or not, if yes then in which year ?

I live in Alabama. Close to Gadsden. Hope mine comes back also. Did you cover your plants when the cold came?

Excellent Video
Fantastic! Thanks, Golden
Add a pinch of black pepper to your turmeric to get the true health benefits from your turmeric. The curry leaves make a nice touch.
I have Caterpillars and Grasshoppers that eat mine. They love it. So everyday at night I have to go outside and get all the Caterpillars that are active when it is dark.

the longevity spinach grows so easily indoors after propagation by plugging in a few stems.
yes--will look for at nursery
is that your mom, great video btw
This plant can dry them to make tea thanks 🙏
I have 2 plants that are growing, but are growing slowly. Do you have any recommendations? I have one in morning sun and the other in afternoon sun, but both get 6-8 hours of sun per day. They are in small containers - maybe 3-5 gallon pots, with peat, compost, and perlite. I have added a little fish fertilizer every couple of weeks. I wonder if maybe they are getting too much sun? Yours seem to grow very quickly.
Cutting the leaves into smaller pieces for cooking is the key. Look & taste like spinach but without the mouth feel like sandpaper after.
