Kangkung is the classic first crop for Malaysian balconies and terrace-house yards. It loves heat, rain and plenty of water, and it grows back after cutting, so one pot keeps giving.

  1. Soak the seeds in water overnight.
  2. Sow about 1 cm deep in moist potting mix, a few centimetres apart.
  3. Keep the soil wet — kangkung does not like to dry out.
  4. When stems reach 20–30 cm, cut them about 5 cm above the soil; new shoots grow from the base.

Tip: sow a small pot every two to three weeks so you always have young, tender stems ready for the wok. Older, tougher stems are a sign it is time to start a fresh batch.
