Sowing Advice
Sprinkle the fine, light seeds on moist cultivation soil, press them on and keep them slightly, but constantly moist. At germination temperatures of 15°-20°C, the seeds need 2-4 weeks to germinate. Once the seedlings have grown to a height of 10 cm, they can be transplanted in pots or similar containers.
