You now have
decided whether you are going to grow your
plants inside or outside. But whatever choice
you have made, except from the time of sowing
the sowing is done in the same way. Incase of
inside growing you can sow whenever you like,
incase of outside growing you will have to do it
in the springtime.
To get the best seed germination results, we advise you to
germinate the seeds according to our standard
procedure, with which we obtain germination
rates of plus 95 % for all varieties:
1. Use a place with a stable temperature
of 20°C (70°F)
2. Use soil with a pH-value of ± 7.0. ( or
germination soil mix from the gardening center)
3. Sow the seeds in a container about 5 mm
(0.2 inches) deep.
4. 1 Seed per small container is easy for
later moving to a larger container or ouside.
Keep 5 cm (2 inches) distance between the seeds
in larger containers.
5. After sowing press the earth lightly,
this stimulates even sprouting.
6. Spray the soil lightly with water. The
soil should not be too dry or too wet.
7. Cover the container with thin transparent
plastic film to achieve an
optimal greenhouse effect.
8. After 1 to 10 days the seeds will have
sprouted. Now remove the
plastic film.
9. Sprinkle the soil regularly with water,
wait till the upper layer has dried
out, and sprinkle again with water.
10. After 1 - 2 weeks the seedlings will be
strong enough to put them in a larger container. |
