Growing Tips

• 🌱 Sowing: Scatter the tiny seeds on the surface of moist, well-draining seed-starting mix and press gently. Do not cover deeply, as light can aid germination.

• 💧 Moisture: Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged.

• ☀️ Light: Grow in partial shade or bright filtered light, particularly in warmer climates.

• 🌡️ Temperature: Around 15–20°C is suitable for germination.

• 🌿 Transplanting: Transplant young seedlings carefully once they have developed several sets of true leaves.

Germination: Typically 2–6 weeks. The seeds may benefit from a period of cold stratification before sowing to improve germination.
