Moisten the soil thoroughly before planting. Sow seeds on top of the germinating mix, lightly pressing into the soil and sprinkling with sand to barely cover them. Keep the soil consistently moist by misting as it dries out. Don't let the soil get soggy or dry out. Containers for starting these seeds should be shallow with several holes punched into the bottom. You can use plastic take-out trays with clear lids for easy covering. Or you can cover with plastic or glass. Make sure containers are clean and sanitized before planting. Put it in a place where the sun can shine, it will germinate in about 10 to 25 days
