Germination Tips

Post by Allym »

i am unable to germinate Lemon Ba, Chamomile and Parsley. I have attempted it twice. Once in September and Once in October. Both attempts went unsuccessful.
I sowed them in Good Potting mix including Bhalu matti + Perlite (Small Qty) + Peet Moss .
Parsley germinated like 4-5 seeds out of many, after 25 days.
Chamomile and Lemon Bam did not germinate at all..


If any body can share their experience.
