Growing Notes
- Sow one raw seed per deep cell in clean, free-draining seedling mix.
- Cover lightly with coarse vermiculite, keep at 22–24°C and maintain even moisture without saturation.
- Harden off well-rooted seedlings gradually, keep the crown at soil level and space plants 20–36 cm apart.
- This current seed does not require cold-moist stratification; follow a future lot-specific packet instruction if it differs.
