|---|
Sow seed on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Do not cover the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination which usually takes 10-20 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Growing Instructions
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. When well grown pot on into 15cm (6in) pots. Grow in a well drained, well lit spot with light shade from direct sunlight. Remove flower spikes as they appear to maintain the best foliage quality.
