Certain claims what Warmth and light as far as this is concerned, but also want to be fulfilled in greenhouse cultivation. Here is a brief overview:
| plant | Germination temperature (° C) | Germination time (days) | optimal temperature (° C) |
|---|---|---|---|
| basil | 12 | 14 to 21 | 20 to 25 |
| Savory (year) | 10 | 14 to 21 | 12 to 16 |
