Germination Tips

1. Seed preparation: Remove the seeds from the pulp and rinse them thoroughly before sowing.

2. Seed soaking: Soak the cleaned seeds in lukewarm water for 12–24 hours to encourage germination.

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

4. Temperature: Maintain a temperature of around 20–30°C for best results.

5. Moisture and light: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright, indirect light. Germination generally takes 2–4 weeks, sometimes longer.
