Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. 5. Water the seeds. Keep the soil moist but not wet. 6. Place the pots in an area with warm temperatures in full sun or part shade. The seeds need temperatures of 75 degrees F or warmer to sprout. They germinate in 10-21 days. 7. When the seedlings are a few inches tall, they can be transplanted.
