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 — 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 at 15–20°C; darkness helps germination.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Moderate — water when the top layer of soil dries. Wetting the leaves invites mildew.
• Soil: Well-drained soil with compost
• Temperature: 10–28C
• Fertiliser: Monthly balanced feed during growth

Sowing season in India
