    - Use a similar substrate and continue to grow them in a bright but protected place.

    #### 8. **Final planting**:
    - Transplant the young plants into the ground in spring or autumn, when they are well developed.
    - Space the plants **50 cm to 1 m** apart to allow them to develop well.
