Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Scarify the seeds by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or nicking the seed coat with a knife to improve germination. Alternatively, soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix or directly into prepared garden soil.
Space seeds 12-18 inches apart if sowing directly in the garden.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 4-6 weeks, but it can take longer, so be patient.
Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) during the germination period.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after they have developed several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed.
Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil.
Space plants according to their mature size, usually 3-6 feet apart depending on the variety.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water young plants regularly to establish roots. Once established, Carissa Macrocarpa is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during dry periods.
Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
