Step 2: Sow the Seeds
Scatter the tiny seeds over the surface of the moist growing medium and press them gently into contact with the soil. These seeds benefit from light during germination, so avoid covering them with a thick layer of compost. Maintain a temperature of around 18-20°C.

Step 3: Maintain Moisture During Germination
Keep the growing medium evenly moist but never waterlogged. Use a fine mist sprayer or gentle bottom watering to avoid disturbing the seeds. Provide adequate light and ventilation while waiting for seedlings to emerge.

Step 4: Transplant the Seedlings
Once the seedlings develop several true leaves and become strong enough to handle, carefully transplant them into individual pots or their permanent growing location. Space plants around 45-50 cm apart to allow room for healthy growth. Gradually acclimatize indoor-grown seedlings before planting outdoors.

Step 5: Encourage Flowering and Healthy Growth
Grow established plants in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during early growth, then reduce watering once plants are established. Remove faded flower spikes to encourage continued blooming and maintain an attractive plant shape. Avoid excessive watering and poorly drained soil.
