What is the plant
Cherry Belle radishes (Raphanus sativus) are a small red spring radish about 3/4 inch in diameter like a cherry. The green tops reach 6 to 8 inches in height. Typical of a spring radish, the Cherry Belle is a fast grower. If you keep growing conditions as beneficial as possible, you will have round, red Cherry Belle radishes in about 23 days. The fast growing time gives the radishes a milder flavor that won't overpower salads and are also good eaten raw by themselves.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
Radish plants can certainly handle a light watering 4-5 times per week, just make sure the soil doesn't become too soggy.
Pruning
By removing overgrown foliage, you will improve airflow to the plant, and light will be better able to penetrate all portions of the plant. This actually leads to a fuller and healthier looking houseplant.
Fertilizer
An organic, balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during growth period is recommended.

Sunlight
Medium light/Partly shaded – This is where the plant gets some morning sun or some afternoon sun. Morning sun is less intense than afternoon sun, so putting your plants a few meters in from an East facing window works for maximum sun while reducing the risk of burning.
