Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

Soak Seeds                      : Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and enhance germination.

Stratification (Optional): For better results, stratify seeds by placing them in a refrigerator for 2-4 weeks.

Sowing

Seed Tray Preparation    : Fill seed trays or pots with a well-draining seed starting mix.

Sowing Depth                  : Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly cover with a thin layer of sand or soil, approximately 1-2 mm deep.

Watering                         : Water gently to moisten the soil without washing away the seeds.

Germination

Temperature        : Maintain a consistent temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F).

Light                       : Provide bright, indirect light. A sunny windowsill or grow light works well.

Humidity               : Cover the seed tray with a plastic dome or clear plastic wrap to maintain humidity.

Duration                    : Germination typically takes 2-4 weeks. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting

Timing                : Transplant seedlings when they have at least two true leaves and are large enough to handle.

Location             : Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.

Spacing                 : Space the plants about 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) apart to allow for growth.

Care and Maintenance

Watering               : Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Reduce watering during the dormant winter period.

Mulching             : Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Pruning               : Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
