Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing to help soften the seed coat and promote germination.

Sowing:

Fill seed trays or pots with a seed-starting mix or a mixture of peat and sand.

Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil, as they require light to germinate. Do not cover the seeds with soil.

Mist the surface with water to moisten the seeds without washing them away.

Cover the trays or pots with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap to retain humidity.

Germination:

Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location with temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C).

Provide indirect light or place under grow lights.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Germination typically takes 2-6 weeks, but can sometimes take longer.

Transplanting:

Once the seedlings have developed at least two true leaves, they can be transplanted into individual pots or directly into the garden.

Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Plant the seedlings in a location with partial shade to full sun and moist, rich, well-drained soil.

Space plants 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters) apart to accommodate their mature size.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods.

Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Protect the plants from strong winds, as the large leaves can be damaged.

Cut back old leaves in late autumn or early spring to make way for new growth.
