A temperature range of 10-12 hours is recommended. Temperatures should be +10°C at night and up to +20°C to +25°C during the day.Add a drainage layer and a layer of soil to the container, moisten with a spray bottle, and let it soak for an hour. For even sowing, carefully space the seeds with a toothpick at the desired distance. Then press them lightly into the soil with your finger, but do not bury them. If the seeds are larger, you can sprinkle them with a little sand. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm (+25°C), well-lit, draft-free area. Open the container daily for ventilation (1-2 times a day for 15-20 minutes) and monitor the soil moisture. As soon as the first shoots appear, increase the ventilation time until the plastic wrap is no longer needed. Seedlings that have reached 7-10 cm in height can be transplanted into individual pots.
