Sowing and germination

Before sowing, the seeds are soaked for 5-6 hours in warm water or a weak solution of potassium permanganate. The seed substrate is sterilized, poured with boiling water or calcined. Sowing is done in a shallow bowl with a substrate of 1 part leaf soil and 2 parts sand and perlite. The seeds are laid out at intervals of 2-3 mm, sprinkled with a 1 mm layer of sand, moistened with a spray bottle and covered with film. Germination is carried out at a temperature of 17-20°C, under diffused light, without direct sun. The film is raised daily for 10-15 minutes for ventilation. Shoots appear in 7-10 days. Possible germination time is up to 30 days. Crops need careful watering and protection from drying out.
