Sowing: Sow the seeds in sowing compost with coir, vermiculite or sand. Sow the seeds around 0.5 deep in the growing medium and place them in either a propagator or cover with a plastic bag to maintain temperature and humidity. Once small shoots appear, move the seedling into good compost mixed with sand or vermiculite.
