Growing Tips
Maintain excellent drainage to prevent root rot; this is critical for seedlings. Cover pots with moist paper or plastic dome initially to retain moisture until germination occurs, then remove cover when green shoots appear. Provide bright light (15 hours daily if possible) to prevent etiolation. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged during germination; gradually reduce watering after sprouting. Once seedlings develop several leaves, gradually acclimate to sunlight. Transplant to individual containers when well-established. Avoid cold temperatures below 20°C during germination.
