6. Give Them Plenty Of Water
Beets need a lot of water. Since they grow underground, they need to be able to absorb that water directly from the soil. Rain may not be enough to penetrate deep enough to give the beets the water they need.
If you live in an area that gets a lot of rainfall, your beets may be fine, but otherwise, you will need to water them daily until the leaves sprout. Once the leaves sprout, the plan should have stored up enough water to produce the beet in the root of the plant. You should then reduce watering to once a week or even less often if you live in rainy areas.
If you water the plants too much, they can suffer from root rot, which can kill your beets quickly. Water also makes it easier for fungi to grow on or around the beets, which can make them inedible and unhealthy.
