Growing Tips
Use fresh seeds whenever possible, as viability decreases significantly in stored seeds. Maintain constant humidity with a humidity dome or plastic lid. Sow seeds 1-2 cm deep in moist, light substrate. Provide warmth with a heat mat at 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal germination. Keep seedbed in a shaded location during germination; move to bright light only after sprouting. Germination may be slow and erratic, sometimes taking 2-6 months, so patience is essential. Once seedlings emerge, provide bright indirect light and maintain moist but not waterlogged soil. Fertilize seedlings with dilute balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks.
