Sowing Period: Spring or early summer (temperate climates), all year round in controlled environments
Flowering Period: Typically late spring or summer, with prolonged blooms in optimal conditions
Optimal Germination Conditions: Requires light for germination (do not cover the seeds with too much soil), a constant temperature between 20°C and 25°C, and controlled but not excessive humidity. Light misting is preferable to direct irrigation in the early stages.
