Hey everyone! So, I recently stumbled upon something called Lepidium meyenii, or more commonly known as maca, and I'm super intrigued. I've read that it's a root vegetable native to the Andes of Peru and is praised for its supposed health benefits and adaptability to harsh climates.
I was wondering if anyone here has experience growing maca in a more temperate climate or any place outside its natural habitat. Can it thrive in a home garden? What are the soil and light conditions it prefers? Also, does anyone know if there are different varieties of maca, and if so, which ones might be best for cultivation outside its native environment?
I'm thinking of giving it a go because it's said to be great for smoothies and seems like a fascinating plant to grow. Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated! Let's dive into the potential of this amazing plant together. 🥦🌱
