LESSON 7 - Germination




To germinate seeds you need a moist paper towel and a zip lock bag. Get the paper towel moist, but not soaking wet and then place the seeds on the paper towel. A small amount a hydrogen peroxide should also be added to kill off microscopic pests. Fold the seeds in the paper towel and place in the zip lock bag. Let the zip lock bag stay open, DO NOT ZIP IT UP. Then blow air into the bag giving them carbon dioxide. Place this bag in a dry and completely dark area. Within a couple days the seedlings will have roots on them. Some may not have sprouted yet so rewet the paper towel and placed them back in the plastic bag. In a couple days all seedling that have the abilty to sprout will have done so by now.

The newly sprouted seeds are very prone to bacteria, so wash your hands or wear gloves while handling the small roots. Alternatively, you may want to use tweezers to handle this. Usually seedlings are planted in rockwool or dirt mixed with vermiculite or perlite so that oxygen allows their roots to grow more freely. The pot or container you use to plant must be sterilized or cleaned very well as certain chemicals can surely be fatal to your plant. Use the biggest pots you can to plant each seed in so that you will not have to transplant the plants after they have grown.
