- Soil Method: Moisten soil and flatten to a 3-4 cm depth in the tray.
- Covering: Cover the seeds for 2-3 days with a tray lid or cover to promote germination. Keep in a warm, well-ventilated area away from light.
- Watering: Lightly water 1-2 times daily during the germination period. After uncovering, continue watering 1-2 times daily as needed to keep the soil moist.
