Check that the ambient temperature is between 20-25°C and ensure the seeds were not buried too deeply, as they require light to sprout.
Increase the frequency of ventilation for your container and ensure the cover is not trapping excessive moisture.
Dig up the plant and install a vertical root barrier around the perimeter of the root system to contain its spread.
Setup: Begin by placing the provided soil in a container and dampening it. Spread the 500 seeds across the surface and press them lightly into the soil. Cover the vessel with a transparent lid or plastic wrap to maintain humidity, but be sure to remove the cover regularly to allow for airflow and prevent mold growth.
Compatibility: This plant is compatible with most standard potting soils and grows well alongside other herbs in separate containers. Avoid planting it in the same small pot as other herbs, as its aggressive growth will likely crowd out other species.
Care: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. The plant thrives in sunny locations. If growing outdoors, monitor the spread of the roots and trim back any runaway growth periodically to maintain the desired footprint.
