How to sow Papaver somniferum seeds
Ensure the soil is well-drained and slightly acidic.
Sow seeds in spring, placing them on the soil surface and lightly covering them, as they need light to germinate.
Keep the temperature around 18-20°C to promote germination, which usually takes 10-20 days.
Keep the soil slightly moist but avoid waterlogging.
As seedlings grow, transplant them to a larger space or garden, spacing them 25-30 cm apart.
