Sprinkle seeds onto the surface of your soil/sand mix and cover with about 1/4" with your soil mix..  Keep pots evenly moist, but not soaking wet, and keep around 70-80°F for best results.  Seeds should germinate within 10 to 30 days. After seedlings emerge, watering should be reduced as the plant establishes itself.  Even with optimal conditions, germination may be slow and sporadic.
