Sowing advice

Sow seeds in a seed raising mix , cover with a fine layer of seed mix and propagate at about +22°C with constant humidity for at least 6 weeks. Then keep cold (–4 to +4°C)( fridge works well) for 6–8 weeks. Usually, the germination starts at +4°C . Raise temperatures gradually up to +10°C [50°F] until germination is completed. If the warm or cold period was not long enough the seeds will not germinate until the following year. They will then need another warm period (summer) and a cold period (winter).
