🌼 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Zea mays var. ceratina

• Common Name: Batik Waxy Corn / Purple-White Glutinous Corn / Sticky Corn / Jagung Ketan

• Plant Type: Warm-season annual cereal grain crop

• Sun Requirements: Full sun (Essential: Requires at least 6–8 hours of direct, intense daily sunlight to fuel rapid stalk growth and proper ear development).

• Soil / Medium: Requires deep, fertile, loose, and well-draining soil heavily enriched with organic compost or nitrogen-rich manure. Thrives best in soil with a neutral pH (6.0 to 6.8).

• Watering: Requires regular, deep watering, especially during tassel emergence, flowering, and kernel filling. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but never soggy or waterlogged.

• Growth Habit: Strong, upright annual stalks reaching roughly 6 to 8 feet in height. Must be planted in blocks (rather than single rows) to facilitate successful wind pollination.

• Temperature: Thrives in hot, sunny summer weather (ideally 21°C to 32°C). Highly sensitive to cold; plant outdoors only after all danger of frost has passed and soil has thoroughly warmed.

💡 Pro Growing Tip: Corn is wind-pollinated, so planting it in a grid or square block (at least 4 rows by 4 rows) is essential for full, well-pollinated ears with no missing kernels. To speed up germination, sow seeds directly into warm soil (at least 18°C) roughly 1 to 1.5 inches deep, spacing them 8 to 12 inches apart in rows spaced 30 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Your vibrant, fast-growing corn shoots will confidently emerge in 7 to 10 days!
