Germination Guide 

• Prepare a seed tray or individual pots with a moist, gritty, free-draining compost. 
• Gently firm down and level the surface. 
• Scatter the seeds over the surface and gently tamp into the surface to ensure good contact
• Cover with a very fine layer of vermiculite or sieved compost
• Mist the surface with water
• Potting mix should be moist but not wet
• Keep in a warm bright location (15c-20C) but out of direct sunlight
• Mist the surface regularly - do not allow to dry out.
• Seedlings will develop within a few weeks. 
• 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.
