What stages will the plant go through and what are the specifics?

Once you have obtained the basic necessities, it will be necessary to wait for the right moment. Remember that the plant goes through different stages of development, and within each of these stages it has different requirements for care and nutrition.

• Germination stage: You sow the seeds and germinate them in germination boxes or mini greenhouses. This stage should take place in the period from the end of February to mid-May. After the plants have germinated, you move them into smaller pots. Germination can be skipped if you decide to establish the crop by planting germinated plants or cuttings.
• Growth stage: During this stage, the plant will gain most of the green above-ground mass that it will produce within its annual cycle. In outdoor conditions, the growth stage usually lasts longer. From the beginning of April, you can already move the plants outdoors, because the length of daylight is now sufficient for the plants and their development. At the beginning of April, there is still a constant risk that night temperatures will drop below freezing, which can pose a considerable problem for some plant species. This problem usually subsides in mid-April, when moving plants outdoors is safer. The time when it is appropriate to move plants outside is determined primarily by the flowering period of the cultivated species. Short-flowering plants may remain indoors a little longer, while plants with a longer flowering period should now be planted outdoors.
• Flowering stage: Depending on the plant species and the flowering period of the selected variety, your plant will begin to flower in July to August. During this stage, the plant forms flowers and subsequently also fruits, which you harvest from the end of August to the beginning of October - again depending on the flowering period of the cultivated plant and variety.
