Troubleshooting
Seeds not germinating
Ensure compost is kept consistently moist and the temperature is within the recommended range (15-20°C). Check that seeds are not buried too deeply.
Seedlings are leggy or weak
Provide more light and ensure they are not overcrowded. Transplant into individual pots once large enough to handle.
Poor flowering
Ensure the plant is in a sunny location and receiving adequate water. Consider feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
Plant wilting
Check soil moisture. Water thoroughly, especially during dry periods. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
