Water the soil thoroughly until you see it come out of the drainage holes. After youve placed the seed in the soil use a watering can to wet the soil so the roots can start growing. If theres standing water on top of the soil wait for it to absorb deeper before adding more water. As soon as the water starts coming out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot then stop watering the plant.

Put the pot in an area that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. After youve watered your seeds set them near a south facing window so they can get sunlight throughout the day. If you have weather thats above 32 degrees F 0 degrees C you can also keep the pot outside for the plant to grow. Make sure the plant gets full sun or 6 8 hours during the day or else it wont produce strong shoots or leaves.
