-
Planting Depth: Sow the seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them down with your hand or a board. Do not bury the seeds deeply, as they require light to germinate.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water gently to avoid disturbing the seeds or seedlings.
-
Temperature: Keep the soil temperature around 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
