  • Soak the seeds in water for 6–8 hours before sowing.

  • Sow 2–3 seeds directly in Garden365 HDPE Grow Bags (12x12 or 15x15 inches) filled with potting mix.

  • Keep spacing of at least 12–15 inches between plants if you’re growing in open ground or larger containers.


4. Watering the Plants

  • Water gently but regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during germination.

  • Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
