Soak the seeds for 3 hours in warm water then sow in a good seed compost. Seal in a polythene bag and place in the dark until germination which usually takes 3-4 weeks at 15-18C (59-65F). Do not exceed 65F as high temperatures can prevent germination.
Growing Instructions
Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Pot up as required.
Aftercare Instructions
Grow through summer in a shaded, ventilated area and keep at 10C (50F) during autumn/winter. For windowsill plants grow cool with plenty of fresh air and in good light.
