- Seeds should be planted to a depth of a couple of centimeters at a distance of at least 20 millimeters from each other.
- The material sown on seedlings is watered and covered with plastic film. The container should be placed in a room where the temperature is not lower than 23 degrees.
- When shoots appear, the film is removed. Next, the seedlings should be watered only when necessary, without getting moisture on the leaf area.
