- Sow seed (soak overnight to speed slow germination) in a deeper pot for its taproot.
- Be patient — it can take two to three weeks to sprout.
- Keep moist and in a bright spot.
- Harvest outer stems at the base once established, leaving the center to grow.
Common mistakes
- Giving up during slow germination
- A pot too shallow for its long root
