To transplant, dig a hole a bit larger than the biodegradable pot, tear the pot in a few places, and bury the the root ball (including the pot) in the hole. You may also choose to add a bit of compost or worm castings into the hole before adding the plant. Water in thoroughly.

Variety description from Truelove Seeds:
"Molokhia is a beloved green rich in vitamins and minerals and eaten like spinach in West Asia, North Africa, and East Africa. It is usually eaten chopped up in a soup or stew, adding thickness to the broth. It is mucilaginous like its mallow-family cousin, okra. It is also... used as a fiber for making twine, rope, and rugs. This variety comes from... Anan Jardali Zahr. Anan has given [Owen Taylor of Truelove Seeds] seeds from her homeland of Palestine, including this Molokhia (or Mlukhiyie, as she calls it)."
*Founded by a Palestinian-American farmer, Lana Mustafa, "Roots of Resilience exists to foster mutual aid and solidarity with farmers in the West Bank.
