Propagating seed is a pretty simple process.
The elements required are:
- Container – heated propagators work best, but it could be as simple as
- Growth medium – soil, compost or things like absorbent paper or cotton wool
- Water – do not let the seeds dry out – see my story about poor little Phyllis
- Heat – try and get the seeds warm
- Dark (optional)
- Then Sunlight (after germination – when the shoot appears)
