Sowing and germination

Seeds are pre-soaked for 24-48 hours in warm water with the addition of stimulants (SUPERthrive, HB-101, Aminozol, Epin or Zircon), after which they are carefully freed from the softened shell, then sown in a mixture of peat and sand in equal parts or a special substrate consisting of equal parts of peat, sphagnum, sawdust and wood coal Seeds are planted to a depth of 0.5-1 cm, moistened with a spray bottle, covered with film and germinated in the light, but not in the sun, at a temperature of 25-30°C. The seedlings need ventilation. It is necessary to avoid waterlogging and drying out of crops. Seeds germinate from 2-8 weeks to 3-4 months. Seedlings are picked into separate pots after the seedlings have grown stronger and produced 2-3 leaves. After picking, the sprouts are watered abundantly and placed in a well-lit place.
