I bought myself this seed with no idea what to do, I just put it into a pot with multi purpose compost on my kitchen windowsill. And waited. From what I know now this must not have been the best way to do it as it probably took nearly 2 weeks to break the soil. Once it did I was a happy bunny and kept it on the windowsill for about 2 weeks before transferring it to a larger pot and into the makeshift shed.
