HOW TO GROW:
Growing: Planting season: Year-round in a tropical climate; in temperate climates - spring, indoors, 3-4weeks prior the danger of the last frost is gone, planting the seeds in peat pots; direct seeding 3-4 weeks prior the danger of the last frost is gone, covering the plants with a cold frame or grow tunnel until the weather warms up.
Soil: Plant inside fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic (6-6.5pH) soil.
Sowing depth: 6-12mm (0.2-0.4in) deep.
Spacing: 30-45cm (11.8-17.7in) apart. Mulching is beneficial.
Light: Choose the location with full sun.
Watering: Water regularly, when needed to keep the soil moist yet not wet to avoid the rot of the roots.
Fertilizing: Regular fertilising is recommended for healthy and robust growth. Soak the seeds for 12 hours before planting to speed up germination. Seeds take 10-14 days to germinate and do best at 25-30C soil temp.
