Additional notes
Soak seeds in warm (not boiling) water for 24 hours. Light is critical for germination—press seeds barely into soil surface without burying
Substrate & Container
Recommended substrate
Peat moss with 30-40% perlite, vermiculite, or seed starting mix (well-draining)
Recommended container
Small pots with drainage holes, seed trays, or germination cells
Growing Tips
Press pre-soaked seeds firmly against soil surface without covering—light exposure is essential for germination. Cover pots with clear plastic or place in a humidity dome to maintain moisture. Provide 18-20 hours of bright light daily using grow lights positioned 2-3 inches above seeds. Maintain consistently moist (not waterlogged) substrate. Keep soil temperature warm at 70-77°F (21-24°C). Mist soil regularly to prevent drying. Remove cork seed coat gently if it remains attached to seedling. Ensure excellent air circulation to prevent damping-off. Transplant to individual containers when seedlings develop their first pair of true leaves. Note: Plants do not flower until the main stem branches or forks, typically at 80-150 cm height.
