Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
- 12 Cavity Greenhouse
- Soil Pellets or Soil Pods
- Liquid Fertilizer
To plant the seeds, pre-soak in warm water for 12-24 hours, sow in a well-draining medium, cover with a humidity dome and keep >70F(use a heat mat if necessary). The seeds can take some time to germinate, usually taking between 14-28 days, and longer if they're not given enough moisture or warmth. Make sure to provide them with bright, indirect sunlight or grow lights to jumpstart germination.
