Planting Instructions Seed Preparation
Soaking: Soak seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates. Scarification: Lightly scarify the seeds with sandpaper if the seed coat is very hard, which helps the seed to absorb water. Sowing Timing: Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Containers: Use seed trays or small pots filled with seed-starting mix. Depth: Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep. Spacing: Space seeds about 1-2 inches apart. Germination Temperature: Keep the soil temperature between 75-85°F (24-29°C). Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Light: Provide bright light, ideally from grow lights or a sunny windowsill. Timeframe: Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days. Transplanting Hardening Off: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions by placing them outside for a few hours each day, increasing the time daily over a week. Planting Out: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart. Care and Maintenance Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent disease. Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Staking: Support taller plants with stakes or cages to prevent them from falling over.
