5 Short Germination Tips:

1. Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing.

2. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix.

3. Sow about 0.5–1 cm deep and cover lightly.

4. Keep the soil warm and consistently moist, but not waterlogged.

5. Provide bright light and good air circulation after germination.

Germination: Typically 3–8 weeks; scarification or other seed treatment may improve germination.
