Step 5: Thin the Seedlings
Once seedlings develop a few sets of true leaves, thin overcrowded plants to provide sufficient growing space. Proper spacing encourages healthy branching and better air circulation.

Step 6: Maintain Healthy Growth
Water when the soil begins to dry and remove weeds around the plants. Avoid excessive fertilizer, especially high-nitrogen feeds, which may encourage foliage growth instead of abundant flowering.
