How and when to plant Jicama Seeds: 
Jicama seeds take at least 2 weeks to germinate. Germination Rate on Jicama Seeds is about 80%. During this time keep seeds consistently moist to ensure successful germination. The soil needs to be about 80’F plus to germinate. 
It’s never recommended to Germinate any seeds via wet paper towel method. Seeds should be germinated in their natural soil environments. 
The Jicama plant requires a growing season of nine months. Therefore, seeds should be started indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost in temperate zones with shorter growing seasons. Before planting your seeds, soak them in warm water for 24 hours.
Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-drained soil. Plant the jicama seeds 2 inches deep and 12 inches apart. Water the seeds regularly and keep the soil moist. The Jicama plants will start to grow within a few weeks. Once the jicama plants are about 12 inches tall, you can start harvesting them.
 Jicama plants are tropical plants and do best in warm climates. 70-80 degrees.  They can tolerate some frost, but they will not survive in cold weather. No soggy soil, that would be the demise of your plant. Plant in a well-draining location.
Water the plants deeply once a week, and then allow the soil to dry out slightly before watering again.
Sunlight: Jicama plants need full sun to produce the best yields. They can tolerate some shade, but they will not produce as many roots if they are not getting enough sunlight
 The best time to harvest jicama is in the fall, after the first frost. However, jicama can be harvested at any time of year, as long as the roots are mature.
