2. Don’t Overlook Your Container
You may start flower seeds indoors in a variety of different types of containers. Several instances include:
• Plastic cell trays with different-sized cells.
• Soil obstruction (container free- the soil is essentially the container)
• flourishing in handcrafted paper pots
• recyclable packaging, including take-out containers with lids, toilet paper rolls, and egg cartons
• Biodegradable pots, like peat pots
3. Prepare Your Soil
It is worthwhile to prepare the soil before planting any seeds since seeds appreciate healthy lawn. If your soil is clay-based or damp, adding some well-rotted manure or compost will assist to improve drainage. When planting seeds in the spring, prepare the beds in the fall. When the seeds are ready to be planted, just rake and dig the soil to a fine consistency (known as “tilth”).
4. Sowing Seeds
Seeds should be sown thinly because overcrowding will not result in healthy plants. Make a shallow indent in a row using your finger or a dibber (the seed packet will advise how deep to plant). Instead of directly spilling seeds from the packet, spread a small pinch using your finger and thumb. Mixing extremely few seeds with sand is a helpful technique. They won’t clump as much when you sprinkle them on the soil.
5. Choose the Right Seed Mix
For seedlings to develop a strong, healthy, seed starting mixture is crucial. A variety of components that are all necessary to maintain the soil’s balance and aeration for the growing seedling should be present.
Most decent seed starting mixes can be found at your neighborhood hardware store. Peat, vermiculite, and perlite ought to be included in the mixture. On occasion, it will also include fertilizer.
6. Keep Them Well Watered
After planting the seeds, water them regularly using a watering can with a very fine rose to prevent the seeds from being washed away. Hardy annuals should start growing seven to ten days after being planted.
7. Offer Enough Lighting
You might not need any additional illumination if you are growing a few seeds in a south-facing window that gets enough of sunlight. The seedlings may not be receiving enough light if they grow tall and lanky. To offer additional lighting for seedlings grown indoors, you might require some kind of lighting source.
8. Thin Out Seedlings
The seedlings need to be trimmed down as they develop and sprout. Plants that are crowded together may ‘bolt’ and produce seeds. Remove the smaller ones gently, leaving stronger specimens to develop with a 20–30 cm gap between them.
Conclusion
Depending on your gardening style and how soon you want to see your flower garden in full bloom, you should decide whether to start your seeds indoors or directly in a garden bed.
