Sowing and germination

Seeds are pre-soaked for 24-48 hours in warm water then they are sown in a loose, organic-rich sandy substrate to a depth of 0.5-1 cm, moistened with a spray bottle, placed in a greenhouse or covered with film and germinated in the light, but not in the sun at a temperature of 23-28°C. The seedlings need ventilation. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging and drying out of crops. Seeds germinate within 5-10 weeks. At the stage of appearance of 2-3 true leaves, seedlings are picked into separate pots.
