Technical specifications
| Approx. Seed count | 75 seeds |
| When to Sow | January to April |
| Where to Sow | Sow seeds under glass in pots or trays filled with good-quality seed sowing compost. Cover them lightly with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. For best results, place the containers in a propagator to maintain a warm environment, ensuring optimal germination conditions. |
| What to do Next | Once the seedlings are ready to handle, carefully transfer them into individual pots. When they’ve grown taller, move them to greenhouse border soil, larger pots, or growbags with three plants in each. If planting outdoors, ensure the risk of frost has completely passed. For optimal yields, provide support for the plants and remove side shoots regularly. Maintain consistent watering and begin feeding them with a high-potash fertilizer after the first truss of fruit has developed. |
