Culture:Kangkong can be grown in various ways. Under dry cultivation the
plant is grown in soil which is not inundated. Seeds are broadcast, sown in
rows or into raised beds. Cuttings can also be used. Organic fertiliser and
urea is applied after planting and soil must be kept moist. Using wet
cultivation the plants are planted into a paddy field situation, either as
cuttings or seedlings. When the plants are established they are flooded,
and the water level raised according to development. In some areas
kangkong is grown floating on the water in ponds or rivers. The roots are
not in contact with the soil and cuttings are anchored in the water using
bamboo sticks.
