The seeds we offer are of high quality and intended for both nurseries and amateurs.

Seed Handling Instructions:

Soak the seeds in warm water for approximately 24 hours before sowing.

Prepare a light, well-draining soil mix. Place the swollen seeds in the soil. Don't cover them with too much soil – a light covering is sufficient.

The seeds require warmth. The ideal temperature is above 20°C (68°F).

Keep the soil constantly moist, but not wet. You can cover the pot with plastic wrap or glass to maintain high humidity, remembering to air it daily.

Provide a bright location, but not direct, bright sunlight, which could dry out the seeds.

SEEDS ARE INTENDED FOR SOWING ONLY!
