Use any containers with drainage holes. The depth of the container is 15-20 cm. The soil can be taken from the garden, having previously treated it with boiling water or a hot oven. You can also use ready-made soil for indoor plants.

Sow to a depth of 1-2 cm. Cover with foil, which should be turned daily to avoid condensation. When the seedlings appear, remove the film. Seeds can take a long time to germinate, so it is recommended to keep them in warm water for 48 hours before sowing, changing the water every 6-8 hours.

Dill will grow well at a temperature of 10-20 degrees, with 12-15 hours of lighting, regular watering and spraying of the plants daily, especially if the room is dry.
