Growing tips

Light germinator (20-25°C, germination period: 14-21 days). Red pigments are formed in higher intensity when the plants are in a sunny location. From the flower set, the plants no longer form new leaves, by removing the flower sets can be harvested longer. High water and nutrient requirements, top dress organically.
