There are three options for preparing home-made seed stimulants for their preliminary treatment before sowing.
The most interesting thing is that you don’t have to insist anything for a long time. All that’s left is to take some water and the main active ingredients, and then mix them.
Gardeners assure that home preparations according to these recipes can be considered proven. All of them increase immunity and promote rapid emergence of shoots.
Recipe #1
Aloe has long been known for its medicinal and cosmetic properties. Another reason to have the plant is to use its juice to soak the seeds. To prepare the stimulant, you need to select a couple of lower shoots, chop them, squeeze out the juice and leave the seeds in it for 6-7 hours. Then the seeds are not washed, dried and sown.
Recipe #2
Gardeners have long used honey as a rooting agent when propagating varietal plants by cuttings. To prepare a solution for seed germination, dissolve a spoonful of honey in 150 ml of water, soak gauze or cotton wool in the solution, and then place the seeds there for 5-6 hours. Then the seeds are dried and can be planted.
Recipe #3
Hydrogen peroxide is often used to disinfect seeds, which helps fight microbes and rot. Soaking seeds in the same liquid accelerates metabolic processes, softens the shell, which ultimately contributes to their rapid germination. The solution is prepared from 1 teaspoon of 3% peroxide in 200 ml of water, the seeds are first kept in clean water for 20 minutes, and then in the solution for 12 hours.
In addition, an infusion of onion peel, nettle leaves and an infusion of dried mushrooms are used for the same purpose.
