Plant it in loose, nutrient-rich soil. Since it grows extremely fast and produces a lot of foliage, it is very thirsty and hungry. Water it regularly on hot days (without causing waterlogging) and feed it every few weeks with a good organic fertilizer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOverwintering:\u003c\/b\u003e Since it absolutely cannot tolerate frost, Malabar spinach is often mistakenly grown as an annual plant here. However, it is naturally a perennial! You can easily overwinter it: as soon as temperatures drop below 10 °C in autumn, prune the long tendrils generously and bring the pot indoors. In a bright location at about 15 °C (for example, in the stairwell, by a bright bedroom window, or in a conservatory), it will easily survive the cold season and sprout vigorously again next spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eInto the Kitchen – What to Do with Your Harvest:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eThe heart-shaped leaves are wonderfully crisp, almost succulent-like juicy, and have a mild, slightly earthy aroma with a delicate, fresh citrus note.
