Preparing Your Seeds:

How to Sow Seeds:

Timing: Sow seeds in early spring or late winter indoors, or directly outdoors after the last frost.
Sowing: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix. Cover lightly with soil and mist to keep the surface moist.

Germination Process:

Temperature: Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best results.
Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist. Germination can take 3-6 weeks, sometimes longer.

Transplanting Seedlings:

Timing: Transplant seedlings when they have developed at least two sets of true leaves and the weather is consistently warm.
Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart or provide a structure for climbing.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
Support: As a climbing vine, provide a sturdy trellis, arbor, or fence for the plant to grow on.
Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and control growth. Remove any dead or damaged foliage as needed.
