🌱 Growing instructions

• Sowing: For best results, start seeds indoors at any time.
• Scarification (Required): The extremely hard seed coat must be broken. Carefully file or nick one spot on the side of the seed until you see the cream-colored interior. Do not damage the pointed tip.
• Soaking: After scarifying, soak seeds in warm water (75-85°F), changing the water daily. Seeds will swell and sprout in about a week.
• Planting: Once sprouted, gently place the seedling in a pot with heavy loam or clay soil, leaving the sprout tip exposed. Submerge the pot in water, keeping the water level a few inches above the soil.
• Light Requirement: Full Sun.
