Germination Guide 

• Prepare a seed tray or individual pots with a moist, gritty, free-draining compost. Gently firm down and level the surface. Scatter your seeds over the surface, taking care not to sow them too thickly
• Potting mix should be moist but not wet
• Gently sprinkle a thin layer of vermiculite or fine grit over the seeds, covering the whole surface of the compost. Leave the pot in a on a warm windowsill, loosely covered with a clear plastic bag to preserve soil moisture.
• Seedlings will develop within a few weeks. Remove the plastic bag and water when the compost becomes dry, but spray the surface with water regularly, to keep it moist.
• Transplant / pot on the seedlings carefully the following spring using seedlings to avoid the spikes
• Fill around the seedling with compost and water well. Add more compost if necessary and then use the spoon to arrange gravel around the seedling. Keep in a sunny spot such as a windowsill, and pot on as and when you need to.
• Allow the compost to dry out completely over winter to reduce the risk of rot.
