Sesamum, widely acclaimed for their oil-rich seeds, enjoy a well-drained, fertile soil, warm conditions, and full sun exposure. For successful growth, consistent watering is key but over-saturation should be avoided. Sesamum occasionally face challenges as pests like aphids and diseases such as root rot, largely preventable with attentive care. Seasonally, they are typically planted in late spring to summer, given their preference for heat and decreased intolerance to frost. In cooler areas, indoor starting prior to the warm season is recommended.
