- Watering: Place the seed tray in a shallow container of water to allow moisture to absorb from below, then remove when the surface is moist to prevent waterlogging.
- Germination Timeframe: Germination can be expected within 14-30 days under ideal conditions (18-22°C).
- Seedling Care: Once seedlings emerge, place them in a well-ventilated area with bright, indirect light. Once they develop strong roots and leaves, transplant into pots with quality potting mix. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in their final location.
