• In a cup, place some stones at the bottom to facilitate drainage. Then fill with moist soil. Then put the seeds, leaving a space of 5mm between each seed.
• Cover the seeds with coarse sand or gravel.
• Spray the surface with water every 2 or 3 days, and always cover the pot with a bag or paper to create a greenhouse effect.
After 7 or 8 days, young shoots will appear.

In the spring, cut off unwanted branches. In summer, it will need to be watered regularly and placed outdoors.
