Step 2: Prepare the Soil or Seed Tray
Fill a seed tray or small pot with a fine-textured, well-drained seed-starting mix. Moisten the medium before sowing and ensure containers have drainage holes. A light, even surface helps support the tiny seeds.

Step 3: Sow the Seeds Carefully
Scatter the seeds evenly over the moist soil surface. Press them gently into the growing medium and cover only very lightly if the supplier recommends it. Avoid burying the tiny seeds too deeply, and maintain gentle, consistent moisture during germination.

Step 4: Maintain Moisture and Suitable Light
Keep the seed tray in a bright location away from excessive heat. A temperature around 20°C may be a useful starting guideline for this species. Water gently when needed to prevent the surface from drying out, without allowing the soil to become waterlogged.

Step 5: Transplant and Encourage Groundcover Growth
Once seedlings are sufficiently established to handle, transplant them carefully into well-drained garden soil or suitable containers. Space plants according to the desired coverage, water regularly while roots establish, and monitor growth. Allow time for the plants to spread and form a compact carpet.
