Sowing Instructions

• Timing: March to April is ideal for sowing.

• Containers: Use small pots or module trays filled with seed-starting compost, ensuring they have good drainage.

• Planting: Place seeds on the soil surface and cover with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite (

  deep).

• Conditions: Keep the soil moist and maintain a warm temperature (

  or

  for best results). A heated propagator or a warm, bright windowsill is ideal.

• Germination: Seeds should emerge within 7–14 days.

Care After Germination

• Light: Once germinated, move seedlings to a very bright spot to prevent them from becoming "leggy" or stretched.

• Transplanting: When seedlings have two true leaves, transplant them into individual

  pots.

• Hardening Off: Before planting outside, acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions for 7–10 days after all frost risks have passed.
