Growing tips

Pre-grow the plant indoors first so that it can be moved into the greenhouse later. Do not put mixed-flowering varieties in the greenhouse. Water regularly, fertilize a little and ventilate. Lightly mound up if necessary. After the 3rd or 5th leaf has formed, pinch off the shoot tip to stimulate lateral shoots. Observe crop rotation.
