Plantation : Sow the seeds 20 weeks before the last frost. Keep the temperature around 21 °C. Germination time is 40 days. Sow them in individual pots because their roots must not be disturbed.

Soil : Indoor: A well-drained, porous sowing media is best to prevent overwatering. Outdoor: Well-drained soil.

Culturals practices : Step 1: plow the soil about 30 cm (12 inches). Add an equal part of potting soil and mix well. Dig a hole approximately the same length as the container and about 1 ½ to 3 times the width. Step 2: slightly squeeze the container, tap out the plant, and delicately free the roots. If the roots are too dense, liberate the fibers by inserting a knife or a transplanter. Separate the roots carefully, then place in the hole.* Good to know: Use an organic bone meal or a «soil activator» when transplanting to stimulate root development. Follow the instructions for use on the package. Fill up the hole with garden soil. Slightly press the soil around the base of the plant to favor the contact between the roots and the soil. Water regularly every 2 or 3 days until the soil is well compacted.Note: Transplant it outside in a deep pot, it is necessary to add substrate around them without destroying the original root ball. It prefers a semi-shaded exposure or a light shade and a soil with an acid tendency, well drain and not too rich , which stays fairly cool continuously, but not waterlogged. Drought, hot weather, such as overwatering can easily kill them.
