Surface Sow Only – Seeds are very fine; press gently onto soil without burying.
Acidic Growing Medium – Use peat-based or ericaceous (acidic) seed mix, pH 4.5–5.5.
Light Required – Do not cover heavily; seeds need light to germinate.
Cool Temperature – Ideal range: 15–20°C.
High Humidity, Light Moisture – Keep evenly moist and cover tray with a clear lid until sprouting (avoid waterlogging).
Germination usually occurs within 2–4 weeks under proper conditions.
