Growing notes
Use a fine, free-draining seed medium. Place one pellet on the surface, keep it evenly damp and provide bright light and gentle airflow. Transplant when the plug is rooted and harden off gradually. Keep plants cool, sheltered and well drained, especially during humid or rainy weather.
