Growing tips

Plant in the house first pre-cultivate so that it can later go into the greenhouse. Do not put in the greenhouse with mixed-flowering varieties. Water regularly, fertilize a little and aerate. If necessary, lightly mound. After the 3rd or 5th leaf has formed, pinch off shoot tip to stimulate side shoots. Observe crop rotation.
