The process of watching seeds grow is a wonderful activity for children and parents, particularly when seeds grow quickly. Alfalfa is one of the easiest seeds to grow and should grow within one week. Sprinkle a small quantity of alfalfa seeds on a wet newspaper towel and watch it grow and germinate.
You'll Need:
a packet of alfalfa seeds (about 1.5g)
A small plate or saucer
Three pieces of paper towel
A spray mister or small water container
How to Grow
Make sure to wet three pieces of paper towel and put them on top of one another flat on a platter.
Take the water off the plate. The paper towel should be moist, but the seeds should not be floating in water.
Spread the seeds out evenly on the paper towel.
To stop the paper towel from drying out, place it on a window and fill it with water. To moisten seeds, utilize a spray bottle or mister to do so. You can also add water into the saucer by using the help of a small jug or cup.
Every day, be sure to check your seeds and see how they're growing.

Just make sure to drain them and rinse them thoroughly prior to transferring them to a towel.
Too moistIf the seeds are moist, the new roots and shoots could rot before they are able to grow. Seeds can also turn mouldy. It's OK for the paper towel to be wet, but the seeds shouldn't be floating on water. Get rid of any excess water on the dish each when you water or mist the seeds.
