Not every gardener knows how to speed up seed germination.
Many people ask themselves: what should be done to ensure that the seeds sprout together and the harvest is excellent?
Sometimes you come across poor quality seed material and have to start over. Weather conditions also affect seed germination.
Gardeners resort to all sorts of tricks and have learned to increase seed germination.
How to speed up seed germination
Soaking or sprouting is used.
Gardeners are trying to treat seeds with preparations to stimulate growth.
Soaking is a simple and affordable method that allows you to speed up the emergence of seedlings by several days.
The temperature and time of soaking vary. Thus, for tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, the water temperature should be from 20 to 25 degrees.
Peas and beans are soaked for 4-5 hours, and radishes, cucumbers, pumpkin and cabbage - for 12 hours, tomatoes, beets and lettuce need to be immersed in water for 24-36 hours, and carrots and celery will need up to 48 hours.
Lifehack for fast seed germination
Take a regular heating pad and water, the temperature of which should be 50-60 degrees.
Fill the hot water bottle with water to 2/3 of its volume. Place a towel on the bottom of the container (box, container), then the hot water bottle, and place the container with seeds on top. Wrap the entire structure in a towel: this way the water will not cool down quickly.
Tomatoes need to be kept for 3 days, eggplants and peppers – 6-7 days.
Don't forget to change the water every 2 days.
