Sow seeds just beneath the surface of rich, well-draining soil or moistened growing media. Keep the medium consistently damp while waiting for germination, which typically occurs within a short window when conditions are favorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs plants establish, provide balanced light and steady moisture. Watercress loves cool weather, so consider a light shade or a breezy location in warmer months.
