Growing Guide

Step 1: Sow fresh seeds promptly after harvest in a moist, nutrient-rich seed-starting mix, as viability decreases if seeds dry out.
Step 2: Keep the growing medium consistently warm, humid, and evenly moist while providing bright, filtered light.
Step 3: Transplant seedlings into fertile soil with protection from intense afternoon sun during their early growth.
Step 4: Water regularly, apply organic mulch, and fertilize during the growing season to encourage healthy tropical growth.
