Seeds that have fallen to the bottom are washed and dried. And pop-ups are thrown away.

The next step is the aging of seeds in a stimulating solution of ash or with humic acids. When they hatch, they are planted in a substrate to a depth of 1 cm every 2-3 cm. The ground for the substrate is a mixture of humus and compost in a 1: 1 ratio. With intensive lighting and observing the temperature regime of at least 20 degrees, seedlings will appear in a couple to three weeks.
