Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
- 12 Cavity Greenhouse
- Soil Pellets
- Liquid Fertilizer
Plant these seeds on the surface of well draining planting medium consisting of peat, perlite, and sand. Place them in a bright and warm spot(at least 70F). Placing a plastic covering over the seeds until they sprout helps maintain a good humidity and warmth level- it can be removed once the sprouts start to show up.
Most seeds will germinate within a week, but wait some time for all the seeds to germinate- there may be some stragglers! Make sure the sprouts don’t receive much direct sunlight for the first couple of months, after which they can be exposed gradually to more light.
