Growing Info

Special Care: Ensure excellent drainage and growing conditions to prevent disease while growing indoors. Be sure to use a pot with a drainage hole to avoid overwatering. After the first winter, slowly harden the plants by providing a longer drying period and increasingly brighter light. By year two, you should have strong starts that would be ready to transplant outdoors, if desired.
