Tip:
- Seeds should be wrapped in a damp cloth or gauze, then placed in a plastic bag or in a small closable glass jar, and left in a warm place for 10 to 12 hours. After soaking, they must be dried. For this, the seed is placed between two paper sheets, or simply wrapped in toilet paper or a paper towel to absorb moisture faster.
- Seeds need to be planted to a depth of 5 mm to 10 mm, slightly sprinkled with earth. After this, you should gently pour them, making sure that the seed is not washed from the ground.
- The seeds need high humidity, so the pots should be placed in a regular plastic bag and placed in a warm room with a temperature of at least +22 Β° C, or be carried to a micro-greenhouse.
- After that, the seeds will have to germinate in less than a week. The best time for sowing is the beginning of March, but if you want to get a house plant, then you can sow later.
Note:
- Please seeds stored in a cool, dry place.
- The volume of the soil should keep a distance of 1-2cm from the rim of the pot
- No need to water too often, keep the soil moderately moist
