How to Grow Peanuts in Soil from Store-Bought Nuts
- Prep Peanuts: Soak raw peanuts (with shells removed) in water for 8-12 hours to encourage germination.
- Soil: Use well-draining soil in large pots with drainage holes to avoid waterlogging.
- Plant: Plant pre-soaked peanuts 1-2 inches deep and space them 6-8 inches apart in the pot.
- Sunlight: Place the pots in a sunny location that receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy, watering regularly.
- Fertilize: Apply a balanced fertilizer occasionally to promote healthy growth.
- Care: Look out for yellow flowers that turn into “pegs,” which will grow down into the soil to form peanuts.
- Harvest: When the plant leaves turn yellow, dig up the plants carefully. Allow the peanuts to dry for 1-2 weeks.
- Store: Remove the dried peanuts from their pods and store them in a cool, dry place for long-term use.
By following these steps, you can enjoy a fresh harvest of homegrown peanuts!
