Put it on a fine sand seedbed and it will sprout in about ten days when the humidity is right. When the cotyledons are fully open, transplanting can be carried out. Transplanting time is critical, if it is too early, the seedlings are too fragile and vulnerable. If it is too late, it is easy to damage the root system, which is not conducive to the subsequent growth and development.
