Choose a flower pot of moderate size, put sand on the bottom of the pot, then a layer of gauze, and then put the seeds on the gauze. Cover the seeds with towels and quilts to keep them warm. It is best to control the temperature at 25-28 ℃. Take off the quilt and sprinkle some water every day, but there should be no ponding. After waiting for the seeds to turn white, you can take them out and put them in a cool place for sowing
