SEED SOWING ADVICE:

Sow indoors in winter, spring or autumn.

Sow indoors for best germination: First sow the seeds in a punnet on the surface of good quality seed raising mix.

Now gently pat the seeds to the surface of the mix and barely cover with fine mix/grit/sand.

Place in a well lit position (not in any direct sunlight).

Temperatures of 18-22°C at this pre-conditioning stage, are best for optimum and rapid germination
And keep moist for 2-4 weeks, at 18-22°C to pre-condition.

Then wrap the moist punnet in cling wrap & place in the fridge (not freezer) for 4-6 weeks.

Now remove, unwrap & place a cool, well-lit position (not in any direct sunlight).
Temperatures of 12-15C are best now for germination.
Continue to keep consistently moist.

Seedlings will begin to emerge in approx. 18-21 days.
