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 — cover lightly.
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 10–20 days.

Light, water, soil and feeding

Sowing season in India

September–October (plains); February–March in the hills. Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems

Crown rot in heavy wet soil. It does not stay perennial through the plains' summer — treat it as an annual.
