How to Plant?
1. Choose the Right Containers
- Start seeds in containers that are at least 2-3 inches deep with drainage holes.
- DIY options: yogurt cups, milk cartons, or paper cups.
2. The “Potting Soil”
- Use potting soil specifically made for growing seedlings.
- Avoid using garden soil or reused potting soil from houseplants to ensure healthy, disease-free seedlings.
3. Planting
- Small seeds can be sprinkled on the soil surface; larger seeds should be buried.
- After planting, moisten the seeds and cover the pots with wet paper or a plastic dome to keep them moist.
- Remove the cover when you see the first signs of green.
4. Watering, Feeding, Repeating
- Keep the soil moist but not soggy, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings.
- Feed seedlings regularly with liquid fertilizer to ensure healthy growth.
5. Light
- Seeds need plenty of light, ideally 15 hours a day. Use a timer for consistency.
- If growing in a window, choose a south-facing exposure and rotate the pots to prevent leaning.
- For indoor lights, keep them just a few inches above the seedlings and adjust as they grow.
- Ensure seedlings also have periods of darkness for rest.
6. Move to Outdoors
- Gradually transition seedlings to the outdoors by placing them in a protected spot (partly shaded, out of the wind) for a few hours each day.
- Bring them in at night and gradually expose them to more sunlight and wind over a week or 10 days.
- A cold frame is ideal for hardening off plants before full outdoor planting.
