Germinating Seedlings
Unknown
Very young plant seedlings emerging from dark organic mulch in a wooden garden bed, showing initial rounded cotyledons.
- Light
- Full sun to partial shade, approximately 6 to 8 hours of light per day.
- Water
- Keep the soil evenly moist through regular light watering, preventing the surface from drying out completely.
- Growth
- Herbaceous seedling stage with rapid early vegetative development.
Care instructions
Provide bright indirect to direct light, keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated, and avoid disturbing the delicate root systems.
