and planted 1 cm deep and 2

cm apart.

lightly daily, should

germinate within 7-9 days.

Upon reaching 30 cm in

height, the seedlings can be

thinned. Seedlings are readyto be planted as soon as they

grow between 60 cm and 90

cm tall.

THROUGH CUTTINGS

branches with hard wood

may be taken. These should

will increase leaf growth and control

its height to make harvesting easier.
