Step 3 Starting the Seed

Scoop your Perlite/peat moss mixture into the small containers you are going to use for germination.  Moisten the soil with a little water, then GENTLY push the seeds into the dirt until it is barely visible.  If you choose to use the gibberellic acid, now is when you will need it.  One spray for each seed should be enough.

Keep the soil moist, warm, and in partial-shade.  A tip is to place a plastic bag over the pot to retain the humidity and warmth.  The plants, especially the seeds, are not at all frost tolerant.  If there is a chance of a temperature drop, move your pots inside to a sunny spot near a window until temperatures increase.
