🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Zea mays var. ceratina 'Black'

• Common Name / Synonym: Black Waxy Corn / Black Sticky Corn / Glutinous Dark Maize

• Plant Type: Vigorous annual cereal crop

• Sun Requirements: Full sun (Requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct, intense sunlight daily for robust stalk development, proper pollination, and full ear filling).

• Soil / Medium: Thrives in rich, fertile, loamy, and exceptionally well-draining soils enriched with organic compost. Corn is a heavy feeder and performs best in nutrient-dense earth.

• Watering: Provide regular, consistent moisture, especially during the critical tasseling, silking, and kernel-filling stages. Keep the soil evenly damp to prevent drought stress.

• Growth Habit: A tall, upright, single-stemmed annual grass featuring broad green leaves, tassel top blooms, and heavy ears wrapped in protective husks; plant in blocks rather than single rows to ensure optimal wind pollination.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm spring and summer growing conditions (Ideal temperature range: 20°C to 30°C / 68°F to 86°F). Sensitive to heavy frost.

🌱 Pro Growing Tip: To maximize pollination and ensure full, beautifully filled ears of waxy corn, plant your seeds in interconnected blocks or grids rather than a single long row, spacing them about 8 to 12 inches apart in warm, well-draining soil!
