This article serves as a step-by-step guide, from buying a pack of seeds to germinating and caring.
Planting
- Use small garden pots with potting soil. Use potting soil that is loose and airy. TFill the pots ¾ of the way with the soil.
- Make a 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) deep hole in the soil. Use a pen or pencil to poke a hole in the soil for the seeds. Do not poke the hole too deep or too close to the surface of the soil.
- If you make planting holes that are too shallow, the seed's roots will not have enough soil to grow well. If you make the planting holes too deep, the seed will have a difficult time sprouting.
- Use tweezers to drop the seeds in the hole. Make sure you drop the seeds with the tap root facing into the hole. The tap root is the long root that will grow out of one end of the seed.
- Do not pull or tug at the seeds when you pick them up with tweezers. If they are stuck to the paper towel, wet the towel with water to make the seeds easier to pick up.
- Cover the seeds with soil. Gently cover the seeds in 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) of soil so they can grow. Do not press hard on the seeds when you cover them, as this can disturb their growth.
