Germination Guide

• Soak seeds for 24 hours in tepid water
• Prepare a seeds tray of sieved, well-draining soil mix - Ideally a mix of 50% regular compost, 50% vermiculite
• Potting mix should be moist but not wet
• Prepare a seed tray and gently smooth the surface flat (but do not press hard and compact the compost)
• Sow the seeds individually on the surface 1cm apart and very gently press onto soil to ensure a good contact.
• Cover seeds with a thin layer (3mm) of fine sand or vermiculite
• Keep seeds tray at around 21c in a light place but out of direct sunlight
• First seedlings should appear within 2 weeks but germination may be over up to 10 weeks.
• After germination, increase ventilation to reduce the risk or rot/damping off
• Ensure compost is kept moist but not wet - nest to place seed tray inside a waterproof tray and water from the bottom. The surface can also be misted if drying out
• After about 5 weeks, the compost should be allowed to dry out between watering to replicate natural conditions
• Pot on as required
