Sowing method: February-April indoors at 20-25°C or outdoors in May (in a warm, shady spot). Always pre-sow in a seed tray. Use cocopeat with silver sand as the sowing medium, sieve the top layer extra fine (kitchen sieve). Spread the seeds over the seedbed, press lightly, and mist to keep moist: it's a light germinator! Transplant in time into potting soil to prevent growth stagnation. The plants can be moved outdoors in May, as soon as the weather becomes consistently warmer.
