Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Sowing: Use a free-draining, damp seed-sowing mix. Surface-sow the seeds and do not cover them, as they require light to germinate.
- Germination: Place the container in a propagator or inside a sealed plastic bag. Maintain a steady temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F). Germination typically occurs within 10-21 days.
- Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, move them into individual 7.5cm pots or standard seed trays.
- Acclimatization: Gradually move the plants to cooler conditions before moving them permanently outdoors.
- Planting Out: Only move plants to the garden after all risk of frost has completely passed. Ensure they are positioned in a spot receiving full sun.
