When the seeds hatch and the first shoots appear, the film is removed and seedlings are grown until the first 2-3 permanent leaves form on the bush. After that, it is dived into separate glasses with soil and placed in a well-lit place for further growth. Two weeks after transplanting, the seedlings need to be fed. To do this, use organic or mineral fertilizers.
