BITTER LEAF PLANT CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Light: Young plants should receive protection from full sun but older plants like a full sun location. The shoots and leaves may be harvested for 7 years but consistent harvesting will prevent flowering and fruiting. The young leaves are very bitter but tender, while the older leaves have less astringency and are best for drying.
• Temperature and Humidity: Bitter Leaf does well in full sun or part shade, moist soil, rich organic compost, grows well in warm climate, but grows faster when there’s humidity. Places with mild winter, It can be kept outdoor by a wall or under a tree for protection in the cold.  For places that freezes, Bitter Leaf can be grown in containers and brought inside. Can grow up to 20 FT, but can be kept small like any potted plants.
• Harvesting: Once your plant has branched out, it is best to cut the ends of shoots rather than picking individual leaves. This causes the plant to produce more branches with lots of leaaves. In East Africa shoots are cut during the wet season when they can regenerate, and leaves are picked during the dry season.
