Tips
Keep humidity at 70% or above. Maintain consistent moisture in soil (damp but not soggy). Provide bright indirect light after germination. Cover container with plastic wrap or dome to maintain humidity during germination. Seeds prefer warm, humid environment. Typical germination takes 2-4 weeks. Seedlings develop unfenestrated leaves initially and are ready for transplanting after 4-6 months when 2-3 true leaves appear.
