SEED RAISING
Plant seeds 2 to 3 MM deep in a seed raising mix,in filtered sunlight and and keep moist,optimum germination obtained in the range of 21c to 27c plants should germinate within 5 to 10 days,temperatures below 10c and above 35c are detrimental to germination.
low temperatures delay germination,high temperatures accelerate germination.
keep a close eye on them as they need to be moved into strong sunlight as soon as they germinate,otherwise they will grow tall and lanky (stretch) very quickly.
if this happens transplant them deeply into containers and move into strong light.
Seeds can be planted individually, or thickly and then transplanted into pots.
