Jicama thrives in tropical or subtropical climates and requires a long, warm growing season, typically taking 5-7 months to mature. Regular watering and a trellis for support are recommended for optimal growth. Harvest jicama when the vines start to die back, and the roots reach a mature size, usually around 3-6 months after planting. Enjoy the crisp, juicy goodness of homegrown jicama straight from your garden to your table!
 
For optimal germination and growth, jicama seeds should be sown at a depth of approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) in well-drained soil. The soil temperature for sowing jicama seeds should ideally be around 70 to 95°F (21 to 35°C) for successful germination. Jicama is a warm-season crop and thrives in tropical or subtropical climates with plenty of sunlight and warmth.
