Before planting, treat the seeds with potassium permanganate for 15 minutes. This protects them from fungus and other diseases.

The seeds are then sown in soil in a separate container. The container is then covered with plastic and placed in a room with a temperature of 22 to 24 ºC. The first sprouts appear within 7 to 9 days. Every day during this period, you need to check the container under the film; after the sprouts appear, the polyethylene is removed.
