Sowing advice

These seeds require light for germination.  Sow on the surface of moist seed raising mix, and just sprinkle a very little mix over the top. Cover with a plastic sheet or glass to conserve moisture, and keep in a light place ( but not direct sun )  at about 20 deg C .  Keep the seeds moist (but not waterlogged) by using a misting sprayer or water from the bottom of the pot. germination should occur in about 3 weeks. There are likely to be some plants with green leaves , but most will have golden leaves, discard or keep as you wish.
