Sowing Instructions

Germinate at 15-20C (60-68F), higher temperatures may hinder germination. Sow on the surface of a good free-draining, damp seed compost. Apply a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite, however do not completely cover seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place in a shady position. Keep compost moist but not wet, germination usually takes 10-30 days. Once a number of seeds have emerged, sprinkle a tiny amount of sieved compost or vermiculite over the roots to anchor them.
