Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Place the seed tray in a propagator at 21-25°C (70-77°F) or seal it in a polythene bag.
  • Keep the soil damp but not wet, and ensure the seeds get light for germination (10-21 days).
  1. Transplanting Seedlings:
  • Transplant seedlings into cooler conditions when they are large enough to handle.
  • Grow them on until they are large enough to plant outdoors.
  1. Acclimatization:
