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 — 0.5–1 cm; transplant 20–25 day old seedlings.
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 6-10 days at 22-28C.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Deep watering 2–3 times a week; water when the top 2–3 cm of soil dries. Do not wet the leaves.
• Soil: Well-drained loam with compost; pH 6.0-6.8
• Temperature: 20–30°C ideal. Above 35°C the flowers drop.
• Fertiliser: Balanced feed every 15 days after transplanting; increase potassium once flowering starts.
