Extra tips or info: pelleted seeds are very fragile so be careful not to crush them when handling them. They're native to South America, and as such can be grown indoors, or in shadier patches outside during warmer months. While the seeds need >92% humidity to germinate, the plants prefer to not be too humid, or they will be ore susceptible to rot and mildew.
These seeds are for the 2021 growing season.
