Knowing And Understanding Seed Germination

Understanding the process of seed germination, allows you to plan and prepare ideal conditions for seeds to germinate. One example is placing your seeds inside your home or in a garden shed, away from the cold and freezing conditions outside.

This way you can watch the seedlings grow and take care of them by monitoring their progress in ideal growth conditions.

Growing herbs in your kitchen is one way to watch plants grow step by step, including watch them sprout and grow. After a while, you will know the herbs that need rich soil, in order to grow fresh herbs for your cooking.

Your children may be fascinated by the germination process, watching you grow flowers and small fruit. Children can see you placing the seeds, watch the stems grow, witness the new leaves opening and the colours of the blossoming flowers.

You should place your growing plants near a window, to get enough sunlight each day and water them at least once a day, to be rewarded with healthy plants and healthy green leaves.

If you do not have adequate sunlight reaching the plant, you could purchase a couple of grow lights and place them near the plants, as grow lights simulate sunlight.
