Growing & care guide

Seeds sown during India's cool winter months (Oct-Feb) for spring and summer growth; many vegetables, flowers, and herbs germinate best in these temperatures.

Sowing
Sow directly into beds or containers during Oct-Dec; scarify hard-coated seeds with sandpaper or file and soak overnight to improve germination rates.
Germination
Winter temperatures (15-25°C) are ideal for most winter seeds; germination typically occurs within 7-21 days depending on species and can be hastened with consistent moisture.
Care
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; avoid overwatering which causes rot; provide bright, indirect light once seedlings emerge.
Harvest
Transplant seedlings to larger containers or garden beds once 2-3 true leaves appear; thin crowded seedlings to prevent competition.
