Good morning! I am growing the purple Lagos Spinach hydroponically. I love it! Just steamed some for the first time today. Such a blessing to grow here in Florida, as regular spinach is hard. :-) Thank you!
Thank you! I'm def going to try it! I'm in Canada, but the heat waves are getting more serious in my area so I'm actively looking for plants that can take the extra heat!
Sissoo, longevity, Okinawa and Egyptian spinach varieties are perennial, LOVES the extreme heat (needs protection from frosta and cold weather though) so tasty and nutritious as well.
Thank you very much for the detailed information, does it mean that not all Lagos spinach has flowers I planted some Efo Soko seeds and I noticed that some has flowers with narrow leaves while the others have no flowers with broad leaves, looking forward to your response.
I want to plant vegatable vetalive I want to know how did you plant because I did it in many ways and it didn't work thank you can you send me the video
I’ve spent the last hour researching this question, and I’m from Cameroon! This is my first time growing the vegetable. I am also learning about it. I’ll get back when I get answers
Here is what I find confusing - is Lagos spinach not the one with purple portions on the leaf?? I thought the all green one was African Spinach and the green/purple leaf was called Lagos Spinach?? You show both types in your video, however they are certainly two different species. Also, I like to know if they are same as Amaranth family??

@@JCC_1975 Thank you, I'll look into them!
So far I've been impressed with Orach that seems unbothered by relentless drought and weak cold snaps.
Yaje thanks for the detailed information here. You're wonderfully doing well.
Thank you so much!!
Nice teaching, I really enjoyed the explanation 👌😘
😊😊thank you so much for the encouragement

Can I grow in my balcony as I do not have a garden and I have the seeds to plant this summer. Thanks
They will do well in containers for sure!

Have you tried growing it from cuttings ?
No, I have not. I might try that just to see
Hi how do you get the Lagos spinach, the green type
From this website. Look under Nigerian vegetable garden seeds: www.osiafrik.com?sca_ref=1684465.bkQOQq1SAw
hi my sister. where I can get the seeds of Lagos spinach
Hello sista! The seeds are here trueloveseeds.com/products/lagos-spinach-efo-shoko?sca_ref=1744862.rdlbikbClc
I have some but it's not growing well. I applied cow manure today. Hopefully it does better
Sorry to hear. I hope the manure was composted already.
This is wonderful. Thank you. Can it be eaten uncooked like spinach? Is efo shoko Yoruba or Ibo or another of Nigeria's important languages?
Efo shoko is Yoruba. And yes, the leaves can be eaten fresh as in salads. Thanks so much
What is it called in Cameroon?

Yes, same family
In Trinidad is plant is grown as an ornamental and associated with "spiritual work" (juju) 😄😆
Oh wow! That’s interesting! Thanks for sharing
Sorry this is not soko. It is called tete!
It is indeed Efo shoko. I also have Efo tete in the garden
its actually shoko. Tete does not have pointed leaves like these
@@jelilatA thank you!
She is right. You are wrong. Tete is different.
please this is efo shoko, don't confuse people. we called it shoko in the north Nigeria too, you are mixing it up 🤣
