Children love watching seeds germinate. This is especially true when seeds sprout quickly. Alfalfa is an easy to grow seed that will grow within a week. Sprinkle a small quantity of alfalfa seeds on a wet paper towel to watch them germinate and grow.
What you will need:
A packet of seeds from alfalfa (about 1.5g)
A small or small dish, or a saucer
Three paper towels
A small or spray mister water container
How to grow:
Take 3 pieces of paper towels and put them on top of each other flat on a platter.
Drain the water off the plate. The paper towel should be dampened, but seeds shouldn't be floating on water.
Spread the seeds evenly onto the towel.
Put the paper towel on a sunny window and water to stop the paper towel from drying out. To dampen seeds, utilize a spray bottle or mister. You can also add water to the saucer using an ice cube or small jug.
Check your seeds every day to check how they're growing.
Troubleshooting
Alfalfa can be a very easy to cultivate seed that can begin to germinate within 2-6 days. If the seeds fail to germinate during this time, here are a few possible reasons why things went wrong:
Too dry: انواع بذور البرسيم Seeds need water to grow. Alfalfa seeds soak about own weight of water before they germinate, and look swollen. Seeds that are too dry are not able to germinate. Incorporate more water into the plate to ensure that the seeds are wet but not floating on the surface. It is also possible to soak the seeds overnight. Be sure to remove them from the dish and انواع بذور البرسيم wash them thoroughly before transferring them onto a paper towel.
Too moistIf the seeds are damp, their roots and sprouts could begin to rot before they've had a chance to develop. The seeds may also become mouldy. It's fine for the paper towel to be wet however the seeds should not be floating in water. Drain excess water from the plate every time you mist or water the seeds.
Too cold or too hot: Alfalfa grows best when temperatures are between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. If you're planting your seeds indoors during winter, put them in a warm place. If you are growing your seeds in extremely hot temperatures, you might need to water your seeds more often as they will dry faster.
