Germination Tips

1. Seed preparation: Use fresh, mature seeds for better germination; gently soak them in lukewarm water for 8–12 hours before sowing.

2. Sowing depth: Sow seeds approximately 0.5–1 cm deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix.

3. Temperature: Maintain a warm temperature of around 25–30°C for germination.

4. Moisture: Keep the growing medium consistently moist but never waterlogged.

5. Light and germination: Place the seed tray in a warm location with bright, indirect light. Germination may take around 2–4 weeks or longer, depending on seed freshness and conditions.
