• Well-draining potting mix
• Cover with a humidity dome or plastic wrap to hold moisture; vent daily.
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface and press in lightly — do not cover; seeds need light to germinate.
• Keep the mix consistently moist until germination.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light.
