I grow alongside bitter melon. As long as the plant is healthy, young leaves can be harvested repeatedly. 阿平伯 / A Ping： 那從種植到可以採收嫩葉，大概要多久呢？ How long does it take from planting to harvest young leaves? 苦瓜葉伯 / Bitter Melon Leaves Uncle： 大約 30 到 45 天就能採收嫩葉，之後隨著生長還能再採收幾次。 About 30 to 45 days for the first harvest, and then several more harvests as the plant grows. 阿平伯 / A Ping： 種植上有什麼要特別注意的嗎？ Any cultivation tips? 苦瓜葉伯 / Bitter Melon Leaves Uncle： 我喜歡溫暖氣候與充足日照，排水要好，藤蔓最好搭設支架，方便葉片健康生長。 I prefer warm climates with full sunlight and well-drained soil.
