Growing from Seeds

1. Fill a seedling tray with fine, moist, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Surface-sow 1–2 tiny seeds per cell. Press lightly into the surface; do not bury deeply, as light helps germination.
3. Maintain gentle moisture and an ideal germination temperature of approximately 20–24°C.
4. Allow about 14–40 days for germination. Germination may be slow or uneven.
5. Transplant established seedlings into pots, grow bags or garden beds, spacing plants approximately 25–30 cm apart. Provide climbing support early.

Soil & Watering

Use fertile, loose and well-draining soil. A suitable potting blend is 50% garden soil, 30% GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost and 20% cocopeat. Maintain even moisture without waterlogging; a soil pH of approximately 6.0–7.0 is suitable. Protect plants from harsh afternoon sun during very hot weather.
