Growing Tips
Presoak seeds overnight before planting to soften the hard seed coat and improve germination rates. Cover seeds to their own depth with fine grit or compost. Maintain moderate substrate moisture until germination occurs, typically 2-6 weeks. Once seedlings emerge, provide abundant light and ensure superior drainage to prevent rot. Transplant to individual pots when well-established. Young plants are drought-tolerant once rooted; avoid overwatering.
