mini sweetcorn, a strange question.
« on: May 09, 2015, 18:35 »
i am trying mini sweetcorn for the first time this .

i chitted them like i do with normal sweetcorn, excellent germination. i have now put them in pots to grow before i plant out. they have all now broken the surface. all seems ok so far.

but now 2 of the pots seem to have 2 plants growing in the same pot. i know i have only put one germinated corn per pot so not sure why i have 2 plants trying to grow.

can i plant them out as they are (close together) or should i take one of them out (if i can)? i'm reluctant to delve about to try and split them as i fear both plants may suffer

Interesting question I have a similar situation with my "normal" sweetcorn one seed appears to have generated two shoots/plants. Personally I would just plant the two plants together but I will probably make the final decision as I take them out of the root trainer.

Good luck HH
Keep digging

I had this a couple of years ago when I tried them, it grew a double stem. I just kept it as it was and had an extra couple of cobs from them.
