Expert Growing Instructions

At Herbolaya, we want your planting journey to be both successful and rewarding. Here’s how to get started:

• Soil Preparation: Combine organic manure, agro peat, and natural garden soil in a 20:20:60 ratio to create a fertile, well-draining base. This blend supports healthy root development and moisture retention.

• Sowing Seeds: Open the seed packet over a white paper to avoid losing any seeds. Sow them about ½ inch deep into the prepared soil mix.

• Watering Tips: Gently sprinkle water to keep the soil moist—avoid direct pouring, especially during the initial days, to protect delicate seedlings.

• Light & Environment: Place the pot or tray in a sunny area. Germination typically occurs within 10–18 days depending on conditions.

• Transplanting: Once the seedlings are about 3 inches tall, transplant them to their permanent outdoor spot or larger pots.

Use natural pesticides like neem oil and Herbolaya’s organic compost for healthy, long-term growth.
