Wild Rocket, commonly known as Arugula and botanically known as Eruca sativa, is a fresh edible leafy green known for its peppery flavour and tender green leaves. It is commonly used for salads, sandwiches, wraps, pasta, pizza toppings, garnishing, western dishes and home edible gardens. Its slightly spicy taste makes it a popular leafy green for fresh harvesting and everyday meals. Our Wild Rocket plants are grown in our Thailand nursery following organic growing standards.

For home growing, we recommend Chaiyo Universal Substrate or Chaiyo Organic Substrate as a suitable potting base. Wild Rocket enjoys consistent moisture, but the media should not stay soggy. If your growing area is more humid, shaded, low-airflow, or the media stays wet for too long, add a small amount of Perlite 2–4mm to improve drainage and airflow. Adjust watering based on sunlight, airflow, heat and humidity. Wild Rocket grows best when the media is kept lightly moist and the plant is placed in a bright, airy area. Harvesting TipHarvest outer leaves when needed and allow the centre to continue growing. Regular light harvesting encourages fresh new leaves. Important NoteThis is a live plant. Plant size, shape and fullness may vary slightly from photos. Bare root Wild Rocket must be repotted as soon as possible after receiving.
