Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and keep at 18–20 °C. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination. Keep the compost surface moist but not waterlogged. Germination takes 2–4 weeks. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 8 cm pots and grow on in cooler conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlanting Out\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eGradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost.
