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 — Surface sow — fine seed, just press in 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 7–14 days at 20–25C.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Hanging baskets dry out quickly — check the soil and water daily or on alternate days.
• Soil: Light, free-draining potting mix with compost and cocopeat
• Temperature: 10–28C
• Fertiliser: Fortnightly liquid feed — basket plants exhaust nutrients quickly.
