🌱 Sowing & Germination

Choose the recommended season and germination temperature from the saved product information. Sow at the packet’s indicated depth, keeping soil damp but not soggy. Thin crowded seedlings; germination is weather-dependent.

☀️ Sunlight, Soil and Spacing

Give good light and sufficient space for mature growth. Use loose, well-draining soil enriched with mature compost, and a well-drained pot if container growing. Adjust temperature, sun exposure and spacing to crop needs.

💧 Watering and Nutrition

Gently water during establishment. Water thoroughly at soil level when the top layer dries, increasing care during active flowering or fruit growth without flooding roots. Use only a suitable fertiliser at its label rate if needed, avoiding excessive nitrogen.

🌼 Flowering, Pruning & Maintenance

Remove faded flowers when the plant responds to deadheading, support tall stems, and keep healthy foliage intact. Actual maturity depends on local weather and plant health.

🐛 Pest & Disease Management

Inspect foliage weekly for aphids, whiteflies, mites, thrips and chewing caterpillars. Watch for fungal leaf spot, powdery mildew and root rot in crowded or wet beds. Remove damaged material, rotate edible crops when possible and use only labelled crop-safe treatments according to local instructions and pre-harvest intervals.
