Step 1: Preparation & Sowing
🌱 Soil: Use loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a large pot or garden bed with good drainage.
💧 Prepare the seeds: Lightly scratch the hard seed coat, then soak the seeds in warm water for about 12 hours.
🫘 Sow: Plant each seed about 2–3 cm deep, cover lightly with soil, and keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
☀️ Placement: Keep the pot in a warm, sunny location. Install a trellis or sturdy support for the vines to climb.
Step 2: Care & Support
✅ Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Place the pot in a warm, sunny location. Once the seedlings emerge, provide plenty of direct sunlight and install a trellis or sturdy support for the vines to climb. Water whenever the top layer of soil begins to dry.
Step 3: Transplanting & Ongoing Care
✅ When the seedlings develop several true leaves, keep the strongest plants. If transplanting is necessary, move them carefully into larger pots without damaging the roots.
💧 Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil begins to feel dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.
