2. Place seeds on the surface; lightly cover with a thin layer of coarse sand (skip for very small seeds).
3. Soak thick-coated seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to improve germination.
4. Water from below — let the pot sit in water for 5 minutes, then drain excess.
5. Place the pot in a zip-lock bag or under a plastic dome to maintain humidity.
6. Keep at ~78°F (25°C). First sprouts appear in 3 weeks to 3 months — patience is key!
