Spread a few seeds on the peat well and cover thinly with the sowing substrate (about 2 mm). Then place the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - for a pot size of 6 cm, a zip-lock bag size 120 x 170 mm is recommended. Pour enough tap water with a few drops of universal fertilizer into the zip-lock bag so that a few mm of water remain after the substrate has been drawn up.
