Cultivation and Planting Guidelines

To ensure successful growth, follow these recommended practices for seed germination and plant development:

• Sprouting Timeline: Germination typically occurs within 7 to 14 days. Please note that initial sprouting may appear gradual; ensure the soil remains damp during this period to support early root development.
• Spacing: Provide adequate space between plants to allow for airflow and healthy leaf growth.
