SEED GERMINATION CHEAT SHEETS
1 Make a weak chamomile tea solution. Brew a cup of tea, and then use the same tea bag to make another cup of tea.
2 Soak your seeds in the weak tea solution for 24 to 48 hours before proceeding.
1 Fold a paper towel or coffee filter in quarters and then spray it with water until damp.
2 Place your seeds in between the fold.
3 Position your towel and seeds in a ziplock bag. Seal it up.
Place your bag on top of a plant heat mat or warm area. (For peppers, the ideal temperature range is between 80 to 90 degrees
4
Fahrenheit.)
5 Spray your towel and seeds each day with water to keep them damp.
6 Check for sprouting seeds. After they germinate, carefully cut the portion of the towel or filter containing the seed.
Note: Don't pull the seed off of the filter/towel because there's likely tiny root hairs that have grown into it. Manually removing your
seed can damage it.
7 Bury the germinated seed under a light layer of growing media (for example, seed-starting mix). The towel/filter will decompose.
1 Dampen a small piece of paper towel and stick it at the bottom of a 2.5 ounce gelatin cup.
2 Place your seeds on top of the towel and put the lid on.
Leave the cup on a plant heat mat or other warm spot. (For peppers, the ideal temperature range is between 80 to 90 degrees
3
Fahrenheit.)
4 Spray your towel and seeds each day with water to keep them damp.
