Setup, Compatibility & Care
Success begins with proper seed preparation: soak seeds overnight in tepid water. Sow on the surface of damp, free-draining compost and cover with 6mm of vermiculite or compost. Maintain temperatures between 20-25°C using a propagator. Once seedlings are large enough, transplant them into 7.5cm pots. Gradually acclimatize plants to outdoor conditions only after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 30cm apart for best airflow. Always use loam-based soil if planting in containers, and ensure the spot receives plenty of sunlight.
