Troubleshooting

Seeds not germinating

Ensure seeds are kept at a temperature of 15-20C, and the compost is moist but not waterlogged. Germination may take 1-3 months, so be patient.

Seedlings are leggy

Ensure seedlings receive adequate light after germination. Consider a location with more sunlight.
