To plant them in pots, we must have previously prepared seedlings. When they reach a height of about 20 cm, we can easily transplant them to the final pot. If we do it too early, the plants may quickly die. It is worth remembering that we can only put them outside around May 15, when there is no risk of frost.

When they grow larger, you must not forget about supports, otherwise the twigs will break. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
