How to Grow

Tray & Medium

Use shallow trays (3–5 cm deep) with seedling mix, coco coir, or organic potting soil.

Sowing Seeds

Scatter seeds evenly and densely across the surface.

Press gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

Optionally, cover lightly with a thin layer (1–2 mm) of soil or vermiculite.

Watering

Mist gently 1–2 times per day to keep the top moist.

Use a spray bottle or bottom-watering tray to prevent disturbing seeds.

Harvest just above the soil line using clean scissors.
