    How to plant your seeds

    Follow these simple steps to give your seeds the best start.

    1. Prepare your soil & tray

      Fill trays or small pots with seed-starting mix. Press gently to settle—no need to pack tight.

    2. Sow seeds at the right depth

      Plant roughly 2–3× the seed’s width deep. Tiny seeds can be pressed lightly into the surface.

    3. Water & keep warm

      Mist or bottom-water. Cover until sprouting if the packet suggests it. Keep in a bright, warm spot.
