SEED SOWING ADVICE: QUICK & EASY

Sow at any time of year in punnets indoors, whenever suitable temperatures are available (18-24°C).

Sow in punnets on surface of good quality seed raising mix. Press gently but don’t cover. Light is needed for germination.

Keep moist.

18-24C approx. is best for germination.

Most seedlings should emerge in approx. 7-14 days.

But do not discard – desert plants naturally stagger germination. So wrap punnet in cling-wrap and place in fridge for 4 weeks.
Unwrap and return to 18-24°C.

Seed Count: 10 seeds per pack approx.
(We always aim to exceed the stated seed count and give a generous serve).
