-
Seed Preparation: Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 4–6 hours to improve germination.
-
Sowing: Sow seeds on the surface of well-draining seed-starting soil. Lightly press seeds into the soil, but do not cover them, as they require light to germinate.
-
Watering: Mist gently to keep soil evenly moist. Avoid overwatering, which can cause seeds to rot.
-
Temperature: Keep soil at a consistent temperature of 65–70°F (18–21°C) for optimal germination.
-
Germination: Seeds typically sprout within 2–3 weeks.
-
Transplanting: Once seedlings develop 2–3 true leaves, transplant them to prepared garden beds or containers in a partially shaded location with rich, moist soil.
-
Care: Mulch around plants to retain moisture and protect roots. Water regularly, especially during dry periods.
