About your seeds
Seeds are living agricultural products that remain dormant until suitable moisture, temperature, light, and growing conditions are provided.
Each plant species has different germination requirements and development times. Please review the product-specific information on the listing for mature size, growing season, light requirements, and recommended USDA Hardiness Zone.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER SOWING
Germination may occur gradually rather than all at once. Some seeds sprout within days, while others may require several weeks or a period of cold stratification, soaking, or scarification.
Early seedlings may look different from the mature plant shown in product photos. Leaf shape, color, growth rate, and natural variation become more apparent as the seedlings develop.
SOWING INSTRUCTIONS
- Check the product listing for any required pre-treatment, such as soaking, scarification, or cold stratification.
- Fill a clean container or seed tray with a sterile, well-draining seed-starting mix. Moisten the mix before sowing.
- Sow seeds at the recommended depth. As a general rule, cover larger seeds with soil approximately two to three times their thickness. Very fine seeds may need to be surface-sown.
- Keep the growing medium consistently moist but never waterlogged. Use a fine mist or bottom-watering method to avoid disturbing small seeds.
- Maintain the temperature and light conditions recommended for the species. A humidity cover may help retain moisture, but it should be opened regularly to provide airflow.
CARE AFTER GERMINATION
Once seedlings emerge, provide bright light and good air circulation. Remove any humidity cover gradually and continue to keep the growing medium lightly moist.
Thin crowded seedlings to reduce competition and improve airflow. Begin using a diluted seedling fertilizer only after the first true leaves have developed.
Transplant seedlings when they have several true leaves and are strong enough to handle. Plants moving outdoors should be hardened off gradually before exposure to direct sun, wind, or changing temperatures.
Important Note
Germination results depend on temperature, moisture, light, planting depth, seed treatment, storage, and other environmental conditions. Because these factors are outside our control, 100% germination cannot be guaranteed.
Product photos show the expected mature plant and are provided for reference. Natural differences in color, form, and growth habit may occur.
Seeds are intended for planting only and should not be consumed unless the product listing specifically identifies them as food-grade. Keep seed packets away from children and pets, and follow all local agricultural regulations.
