Even if you managed to find the highest quality planting material, this cannot guarantee a high percentage of germination.

For this reason, experienced gardeners soak seeds in special solutions.

Thanks to this, the chances of germination will increase significantly, believes landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.

What are 3 tricks you should know?

Aloe juice

Some gardeners have noticed that treatment with aloe juice is a highly effective technique, since it helps to disinfect planting material no worse than specially designed products.

You will need to take only one spoon of plant juice for processing. There is no need to wash it off after processing.

Ash

This is a very high-quality way to increase the chances of seeds to germinate. To prepare the working solution, take a liter of hot water and dilute a couple of spoons of ash in it.

Then you should wait 48 hours. Then we process the seeds. You can start planting right away, or you can dry the seeds without washing off the resulting ash layer.

Honey

Few people know that natural honey is a very high-quality growth stimulant. You will need to take 100 ml of water at room temperature and stir about half a small spoon of honey into the liquid.

After that we begin processing the seeds.
