A home based container should have a good amount of drainage. The seeds should be planted one inch deep into the soil. And, each seed should be spaced five inches apart. Also put some trellis in the container so that the plants have the necessary support when they are growing. The plants will start climbing up when they begin growing.
The plants need about eight hours of sunlight per day. Once you plant the seedlings you will see the plants in 21 days. While watering, makes sure you dampen the soil well. After the plants starts growing, water them thoroughly. Once the plants reach the minimum height, feed them with fertilizers. Apply water to the base of the plant so that the leaves remain dry.
