Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to enhance germination.
Scarify seeds lightly by rubbing them with sandpaper or nicking the seed coat with a knife.
Sowing:

Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 2 inches apart.
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Germination:

Place the seed trays in a warm location with temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Germination can take 4 to 8 weeks, so be patient.
Maintain consistent moisture and provide good air circulation to prevent mold.
Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings when they have at least two sets of true leaves.
Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions by hardening them off for a week before transplanting.
Plant in a sunny location with well-draining soil, spacing plants 3 to 4 feet apart.
Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune dead or damaged branches to maintain plant health and shape.
