Sowing & growing

Sow indoors on the surface of seed compost and cover with fine layer of compost or vermiculite between Feb-Apr. Place on a sunny windowsill or in propagator at 18-21°C. Transplant when seedlings have 2 true leaves, handling by the true leaves rather than the stems. Grow on at minimum temperature of 15°C.

Aftercare

Main stem will require support from cane/twine. Tie in with soft garden twine and continue to pinch off side shoots as they grow. Water regularly and feed weekly when flowers form.
