How to Grow

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with a fine, clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Sow at the right depth — 3-5 mm.
3. Water gently with a spray bottle so the seeds are not displaced. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged.
4. Place the tray where it gets the right light for this plant (full sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 10-15 days.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water when the soil dries — it prefers the dry side; overwatering causes rot.
• Soil: Sandy, well-drained soil — not heavy wet soil.
• Temperature: 12-30C
• Fertiliser: Light feeding; a light feed every 4–6 weeks.

Sowing season in India
