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 — About 0.3-0.5 cm..
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: Evenly moist soil; water at the base. Waterlogging causes root rot.
• Soil: Rich, well-draining loam with compost.
• Temperature: 12-27C best.
• Fertiliser: Feed every 2 weeks; at budding increase potash and reduce nitrogen.

Sowing season in India
