- Germination Time: Seeds sprout within 5-10 days.
✔ Growing Conditions:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun (6-8 hours daily) but can tolerate partial shade.
- Soil Type: Grows best in moist, well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.
✔ Care & Maintenance:
- Fertilization: Apply organic compost or nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 2-3 weeks.
- Weeding: Keep the area weed-free to avoid competition for nutrients.
