Keep mix damp but not wet.
Do not exclude light, sealing in a plastic after sowing is beneficial.
Germination usually takes 10-21 days.
Growing Instructions
When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow on in cooler conditions.
Gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in a sunny spot on light well drained soil.
For pot plants, transplant the seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots, grow cool, well ventilated and give plenty of light, but shade from direct sun.
Aftercare Instructions
Our Tip: After planting into their baskets grow in warm conditions, and when established give them a good spray from a watering can.
The weight of the water flow will produce a perfect cascading habit.
