Indoor: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in seed trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix.
Outdoor: Sow seeds directly into the soil after the danger of frost has passed, and the soil temperature has reached 70°F (21°C).
Germination: Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days at temperatures of 70-85°F (21-29°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Indoor: Transplant seedlings outdoors after 2-4 weeks, when they have at least 2-3 true leaves and all danger of frost has passed.
Outdoor: Space plants 18-24 inches apart in a sunny location with ample space for climbing.
Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but allow the top inch to dry out between waterings.
Pruning: Regularly prune to remove any dead or damaged growth and encourage bushier growth.
Support: Provide a trellis or support structure for the vines to climb.
