Sowing

1 Fill tray with moist (not wet) seed mix.

2 Place seeds on surface, spacing slightly apart.

3 Lightly cover with 1–2 mm of fine vermiculite or sifted soil — they need some light to germinate.

4 Mist gently so seeds settle without washing away.

4️⃣ Germination Conditions

• Temperature: Maintain 20–24 °C (70–75 °F).

• Light: Bright, indirect light — avoid direct harsh sun at germination stage.

• Moisture: Keep evenly moist with misting; never let the soil dry out completely.

• Humidity: Cover with a dome or cling film until seedlings appear

5️⃣ Timeline

• Germination Time: 7–21 days (sometimes longer if temperatures fluctuate).

• Remove the cover once seedlings emerge to prevent fungal diseases.

6️⃣ After Sprouting

• Place seedlings in a bright, sunny spot or under grow lights for 14–16 hrs/day.

• Keep soil just moist — overwatering can cause damping-off disease.

• Once seedlings have 2–3 true leaves, transplant into 8–10 cm pots.
