The large seeds are soaked before sowing, spread in an even layer over a growing medium and given a short covered establishment period before being moved into light.

Soaking hydrates the seed before sowing, while good seed-to-medium contact helps the developing roots establish quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce established, the crop benefits from good airflow and careful moisture control. The swollen seeds retain considerable water, so avoid deep piles, continuously saturated growing media and excessive surface watering.
