How I Germinate Difficult Seeds
So ever since I was little and started growing my own plants, I had an elementary school teacher who taught me this method that would pretty much guarantee that the seeds I planted would sprout. Since I’m trying to grow some more difficult plants and herbs this year just sticking them in the dirt wouldn’t get them to sprout for me, so I’ve been using this method for even the easier plants to grow and it works great!
First, cut out a little square of paper towel (bleached or unbleached works) and make sure it will fit into a small plastic snack bag (I reuse these!)
Wet the paper towel so it’s slightly damp and arrange the seeds as far apart as you want them to be. Label as you see fit. Place the damp paper towel with the seeds in the plastic bag in a sunny spot.
Once the seeds sprout, very carefully place them in a seed pot with appropriate soil! And you’re done! That’s it! The roots will grow through the paper towel and the towel will break down over time :)
I hope this method works for you if you have trouble getting plants to grow! Happy growing! ✨🌱
