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 — About 0.3–0.5 cm; it likes darkness for germination..
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 14–21 days (a slow and uneven germinator).

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water when the top of the soil dries. Too-wet soil causes rot.
• Soil: Light, well-draining soil.
• Temperature: 15-30C best.
• Fertiliser: A light balanced feed every 3–4 weeks.

Sowing season in India
