• Expected germination time: 7-14 days under suitable conditions*

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 7-14 days.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Keep the soil lightly moist — it does not tolerate drought, but water must not collect.
• Soil: Light, well-drained soil with compost
• Temperature: 10–25°C; it finishes quickly in heat.
• Fertiliser: A light feed is enough — excess nitrogen only grows leaves.

Sowing season in India

October–December (with the start of the cold season). Exact timing depends on your local temperature and conditions.

Common problems

Dislikes transplanting — sow the seed directly in its final spot. Sudden collapse in heat.
