- Vase : it is advisable to use terracotta pots with holes in the bottom, to allow excess water to drain.
- Location : It is important to place the seeds correctly and at the right distance from each other to prevent the plants from having little space to grow.
- How to plant : after placing the seeds, a fundamental step is to cover them correctly. Just a light layer of soil that covers them but at the same time allows them to germinate. After that, the floor surface should be wet.
