Growing Guide for Pakistan

• Sowing time: September to October in the plains (Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan); late August to September in Islamabad; October in Karachi.
• Method: Nursery trays. Surface-sow the fine seed and press in; it needs light, so do not bury it. Mist, never pour.
• Germination: 7–14 days at 18–22°C.
• Transplanting: At 4–6 leaves, 20–25 cm apart. Pinch the growing tip once for multiple spikes.
• Flowering: December to April; cut spent spikes and it blooms again.
• Sun and water: Full winter sun; water at the base and let the surface dry between waterings.
