    Starting seeds requires soaking seeds in hot water overnight to speed germination. Seeds should be sown in sterilized potting mix to prevent diseases and kept moist and warm, between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit, until germination. Seedlings need fluorescent light, fertilizer, and larger containers once they have two sets of true leaves.

    Soak seeds in hot water overnight to speed germination. Seeding in pot-paks and/or flats is most convenient . Sterilize all "used" pots, flats, tools with Physan 20 . Use only sterilized starting mixes to help prevent damp-off disease. Mix very fine seed with fine sand or milled sphagnum moss. Scatter over growing medium. Our Super Seed Sower and Pro-seeder help you to not over-seed and will cut down on tedious thinning. Sow small seed 1/2" apart; large 1" apart. Most fine seeds don't need to be covered. Cover other seed with a sifting of fine soil. Use a fine mist sprayer (#6342) to mist thoroughly. DO NOT LET THEM DRY OUT. Reduce evaporation and maintain humidity by covering with a dome. Capillary matting is also a great aid. Germination Seeds need darkness, moisture and heat to germinate. Keep them in a dark area. Seeds have enough food stored inside, so they need only water -- no fertilizer yet. DO NOT LET THEM DRY OUT. Most seeds germinate best at a constant temperature between 65 F to 75F. For best results, use a heat cable or grow mat. Seedling Stage When the majority sprout, move them off the bottom heat source and remove the dome. Water them with a diluted all-purpose fertilizer, and make sure they get enough fluorescent light at the right height. After they have 2 pairs of true leaves, they can be transplanted to larger containers. Enjoy the miracle of Mother Nature in action!
