If possible, maintain soil temperatures at 27-32°C. Shishito seeds germinate very slowly in cooler soil. When the first true leaves appear, transplant seedlings into 5cm cell-type containers or 10cm pots. Grow plants at approx. 21°C day and 16°C nights. Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eTransplant out after frost when the soil is warm and weather is settled.
