Seed Starting Moments #3: Germination Tips & Tricks

Germination Tips & Tricks:

• Air temperature should be 65-70F for cool-season plants, 70-80F for warm-season plants
• Use a seedling heat mat – place warm-season plant trays directly on the mat, but put cool-season plant trays on a cookie cooling rack over the mat to slightly reduce heat
• Know whether the seed needs light or darkness to sprout and sow accordingly
• Moisture level – overwatering grows algae & mold. They don’t kill but the cause of them does.
