I am looking to find some Kangkong water spinach. I have heard it can be found in asian markets. Is this true? Would anyone be willing to send me some seeds or trade for seeds? If so PM me please. Thanks Guys! |

Can get it in asian super markets in Australia, so I would imagine you can in the US. Just try to find some with some nodules and poke them into a growbed. Stuff propagates very easily from store bought cuttings. |

Tried the cuttings from the Asian market, too far gone to root it seemed. So, purchased my seed on ebay. 100% germination rate in constant flood net pots in the tilapia bucket filter so far. A not so great 30% in the rapid rooter plugs under lights. Too Cold to sew outside at the moment. Searching "Chinese Water Spinach" will net more results... Particularly if buying closer to home is a consideration. I.E. I am in NC and found seed in Tennessee. |
