Seed Handling Guide:

Before sowing, it's a good idea to stratify the seeds. Soak the seeds in warm water for 1-2 days to soften the seed coat and facilitate germination, then place them in a tightly closed container with moist, well-drained soil. Cover them with a thin layer of sand to prevent drying out and refrigerate for a month.

After this process, plant the seeds immediately in individual pots to avoid repotting later. Place the seeds in the pots, covering them with soil about 0.5 cm deep to provide darkness. Maintain a constant humidity and a temperature of around 13°C (50°F). It's best to sow them in a greenhouse or outdoors in a cooler location if the temperature isn't too high.
