Care and Maintenance

Plant seeds directly into well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Thinning seedlings to 3-4 inches apart ensures proper root development. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and temperature. No chemical treatments are necessary if grown organically. Seeds should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark location for long-term viability.
