Sowing and germination

Sowing is carried out in spring or early summer, and with stable lighting and temperature control it is possible all year round. A sterile, fine-grained, well-drained substrate with a predominance of mineral components is used: fine sand, perlite, pumice or fine gravel with a small addition of sifted leaf soil. The seeds are distributed over the surface or barely sprinkled with a layer of washed sand up to 1 mm. The crops are moistened from a spray bottle with a weak solution of potassium permanganate or biofungicide, if necessary, with the addition of a weak solution of a seed-safe growth stimulant according to its label directions, seed-safe growth stimulant, seed-safe growth stimulant, seed-safe growth stimulant or seed-safe growth stimulant. The container is covered with a transparent lid or placed in a greenhouse. Germination is carried out in bright, diffused light, without direct sun and overheating.
