Description

Usualy30 to 60% seeds will sprout Soak seeds overnight in cool, non-chlorinated water and then refrigerate the seeds (approximately 40 degrees F) in moist medium for 3 days. The moist medium could be moist sand, moist potting soil, moist coir or moist peat. Note that our recommendation is MOIST not SODDEN or VERY WET, and that we are recommending REFRIGERATION not FREEZING. After this pretreatment, plant the (still moist) seeds. Sow on surface, barely cover with soil and press in firmly and keep evenly moist until germination. Use a greenhouse, shadehouse or grow lights. Germination Temperature is around 20C/68F Germination occurrs at least 15 days after sowing. Seedlings are slow-growing and will require about 60 days to transplant. Once past the seedling stage, the plant is fast growing. The plants prefer rich, deep, evermoist, well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. Water every other day.
