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.
