SeeddeeS growing kit cork pot with glass vase - Anise
Grow your own anise easily with SeeddeeS®. Easy to grow and wonderfully flavorful. Anise is used for tea, various baked goods and also for making liqueur. Anise, also known as Pimpinella anisum, is an annual plant and originates from the Mediterranean region, which is why it loves warmth. Be careful when watering — do not overwater, as anise is sensitive to this. Start pre-sowing the seeds indoors from February/March. It takes about 21 to 28 days for the seeds to germinate. From May onwards, carefully transplant the young plants into a larger pot or into open ground outdoors, preferably in a sunny spot.

Gebruiksaanwijzing
Step 1
Place the coco tablet on a saucer or plate and pour water over it.
Step 2
When it has sufficiently absorbed and swollen, place it in the cork pot.
Step 3
Then distribute the seeds evenly over it, do not place them too close together and cover them just a little.
Step 4
Fill the glass halfway with water and let the wick hang in it so that it can soak up. This ensures that the soil stays nicely moist.
Step 5
Place it in a partly sunny spot and water regularly.
Step 6
Germination can begin; this may take 15 to 21 days.
Step 7
When the plants are big enough, transplant them carefully into a larger pot.
