Planting and Germination Guidance

• Soil Preparation: Sow seeds in well-draining soil with a neutral pH. Ensure the planting site receives full sun to partial shade.
• Sowing Depth: Seeds require light to germinate. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface rather than burying them deeply.
• Moisture Management: Maintain consistent soil moisture during the germination period. Avoid waterlogging the soil, which can inhibit sprout development.
• Temperature Requirements: Optimal germination occurs in cool to moderate temperatures. If planting in warmer regions, early spring or autumn sowing is recommended to avoid heat stress.
• Identification: As seedlings emerge, they will display thin, delicate cotyledons. Ensure proper spacing to allow for adequate airflow and plant maturity.
