* Seeds are characterized by rapid germination in a constantly moist (but not wet!) substrate at a temperature of about +20°C.
Seeds can be sprinkled with a thin layer of substrate or sand, but if the seeds are very small, then only lightly press.
After germination, cold germination conditions are desirable.
To obtain 1000 plants, 1.0 g of seeds will be required.
