Growing Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation:

   • Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and enhance germination.

2. Sowing:

   • Direct sow after the danger of frost has passed.
   • Plant seeds 1 inch deep in well-drained soil.
   • Space seeds 12-18 inches apart to allow ample room for growth.

3. Germination:

   • Germination occurs within 7-10 days under ideal conditions (70-85°F).

4. Transplanting:

   • Avoid transplanting due to the deep taproot system. Sow seeds directly in their permanent location.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep soil moist during germination. Once established, Ricinus is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry periods.
• Pruning: Trim back dead or damaged foliage to maintain the plant's health and appearance.
