➡️ There are two essential conditions for successful seed germination and sprouting

1️⃣ Seedling soil MUST stay moist to encourage germination
💦 It’s not necessary to soak your soil
🔫 But make sure to use a sprayer to consistently mist your seed trays
💧And check often to make sure the soil is moist

2️⃣ Temperature is VERY important! Keep seeds in a warm room, or use a heat mat
☀️ Most seeds need temperatures of 20-22˚C (68-72˚F) to sprout
🌱 This gives seeds the signal that it’s warm enough outside of their seed cells to sprout and germinate
