Sowing instructions
SPRING Sow the seeds at 2mm depth in the Well Drained Seed Sowing Mix at >77°F. The container with the seeds is placed in a saucer of water until germination occurs. As a result, the moisture reaches the seeds by capillary action and ensures that the seeds do not dry out. The results are erratic.
The average seed weight is 4761,9 per gram (0,00021g).
