Germination: Start these seeds indoors right away for best germination rates. Obtain a container with holes in the bottom, to allow water to drain. Use a mix of 50:50 compost/soil and sand. Place the seeds just under the surface of a growing mix, and water them in. These seeds grow in temperatures of 25°C-29°C (77-84F). A heat mat can be helpful. It is very important to keep the soil moist until germination, and do not let the soil dry until the plants are formed. The seeds generally germinate in 2-8 weeks.
