Sowing/Growing information | |
Sowing | For best results multi sow 3 to 4 seeds per cell in a 144 cell plug tray or slightly larger unit. Sow on to the surface of a free-draining, moist seed-sowing compost and cover with 3-4mm of vermiculite. Propagate at 20C. Germination should take place in approximately 2 weeks. Maintain a temperature of 20C after germination until the seedlings are established. Alternatively sow direct into 12 pack, 9cm pot or preferred final unit of sale. |
Growing | When the seedlings are established cool them down slightly to 10C and transfer on to a 6 Pack or 9cm pot for final sale. January sowings should result in saleable plants in late April. |
