The plant is robust and ideal for cutting from October to March. You can cultivate from January to March in a sheltered cold frame with a fleece cover for frosty nights or in a pot on the windowsill. Plant three seeds per planting hole about 1 cm deep in coconut substrate or organic vegetable substrate. After germination, you can prick out the seedlings, leaving only the strongest. It takes about four to six weeks after sowing for the seedlings to develop properly. A temperature between 15° and 20° Celsius would be ideal for germination. From the end of May, when there are no more frosty nights ahead and the seedlings have developed proper rooting, they can be planted outdoors. Provide a little lining/padding with compost and place the seedlings deep enough in the soil so that the roots are covered with about 1 cm of soil. Leave about 40 to 50 cm of space between the plants.
