Troubleshooting

Seeds not germinating

Ensure the soil is consistently moist, and the area receives adequate sunlight. Check the sowing depth and consider the soil temperature. Wait 14-21 days for germination.

Ensure the soil is fertile and well-drained. Weed the area regularly to prevent competition. Water adequately, particularly during dry periods.
