2. Keep towels damp in a warm place.
3. Check daily for sprouting, usually within a week.

Planting Guide:

• Pot Selection: Choose a large pot (minimum 12 inches diameter) with good drainage. Lightweight plastic or resin pots are ideal.
• Soil: Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, preferably a mix of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.

Planting:

• Avoid overcrowding; one plant per pot ensures adequate space for root development.
• For taller varieties, use stakes or trellises for support.

Care Guide:

• Watering: Balance is crucial; check soil moisture regularly and water accordingly.
• Sunlight: Provide at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Use a dolly for large pots to optimize sun exposure.
• Fertilizing: Feed monthly with balanced liquid fertilizer, switching to phosphorous and potassium-rich fertilizer before flowering.
• Companion Planting: Consider nasturtiums or lettuce at the base for added aesthetics and utility.
