Germination should begin to take place after 7-10 days.
Maintain a temperature of 15C after germination.

Growing Instructions

Continue to grow the seedlings on at 15C (60F) until they are established and fill the tray. Transfer to a 12 pack, 6 pack or 9cm pot and continue to grow on at 10-15C (50-60F).

Use of the growth regulator B Nine will help to keep the plants compact.
