🌱 Propagation Instructions:
- Sowing Time: Best sown during spring or early summer when the soil is warm.
- Sowing Medium: Use a well-draining seed-raising mix for best results.
- Sowing Depth: Scatter seeds lightly on the soil surface. Light is necessary for germination, so do not cover the seeds.
- Watering: Place the seed tray in a shallow container of water to allow moisture to absorb from below. Remove when the surface is moist, avoiding waterlogging.
- Germination Timeframe: Germination will typically occur within 14-30 days under ideal conditions (18-22°C).
- Seedling Care: Once seedlings appear, provide bright, indirect light and a well-ventilated area. When seedlings have developed several leaves and a strong root system, transplant into pots with good-quality potting mix. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting into the garden.
