Gotu Kola – (Centella asiatica) Non-GMO – Organically Grown – Herb
Growth Habit: Gotu Kola is a low-growing, creeping perennial herb with small, fan-shaped green leaves and tiny, inconspicuous pinkish flowers. It spreads via stolons, forming a dense mat over time.
Cultivation Instructions:
• Soil: Prefers moist, well-draining, sandy, or loamy soil rich in organic matter.
• Light: Thrives in partial shade but can tolerate full sun with sufficient moisture.
• Watering: Requires consistently moist soil; do not allow it to dry out completely.
• Spacing: Plant 12–18 inches apart to allow for spreading growth.
• Fertilization: Benefits from occasional feeding with organic compost or diluted liquid fertilizer.
• Container Growth: Can be grown in pots with rich, well-draining soil and regular watering.
Stratification & Germination:
• Stratification: Seeds benefit from cold stratification for 3–4 weeks before sowing.
• Germination: Sow seeds on the surface of moist soil, pressing them lightly without covering them completely, as they require light to germinate. Keep soil consistently damp and maintain temperatures around 70°F (21°C). Germination may take 3–6 weeks.
Gotu Kola is valued for its medicinal properties and is traditionally used in herbal medicine for cognitive support, skin health, and circulation improvement.
