• Temperatures: Germination at 18°C; emergence in 10–14 days; optimal growth 15–22°C.
• Exposure: Sun / good light, adapted to the species
• Recommended soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with good structure; adjust fertilisation according to a soil analysis.
• Water needs: Consistent watering, without excess; keep moisture uniform during critical stages.
• Fertilising: Balanced NPK fertilisation, with emphasis on potassium/calcium for fruiting crops and on uniformity for root and leafy crops.
