Pinto Peanut Arachis Pintoi 蔓花生

Pinto Peanut (Arachis pintoi) is a mat-forming, perennial tropical legume native to Brazil. Widely used as a living ground cover and forage crop, it is highly valued for its dense, weed-suppressing growth, drought tolerance, and ability to enrich the soil through nitrogen fixation.

Sunlight: It adapts well to both full sun and partial shade, making it an excellent groundcover under trees or taller plantation crops.

Watering: It has high moisture requirements. Ensure the soil is consistently moist, but avoid prolonged waterlogging or oversaturation.

Soil & Fertilizer: It thrives in well-drained, loamy soils but is highly adaptable. Apply a balanced fertilizer (such as a 5-10-10 composition) during the growing season to boost health and vibrant yellow flowering.
