Watching seeds germinate is a fantastic activity for kids particularly when the seeds are sprouting quickly. Alfalfa is an easy-to-grow seed that should grow within a week. To observe the seeds sprout you can sprinkle some alfalfa seedlings on a sheet of paper towel that is damp.
You Will Need:
Alfalfa seeds in a packet (about 1.5g)
A small or small dish, or شركات البذور الزراعية فى مصر (yogicentral.science) a saucer
Three paper towels
an air mister, or a small water Jug
How to Grow:
Take 3 pieces of paper towel and lay them on top one another flat on a table.
After that, you should drain the water off the plate. The paper towel must be moist, but the seeds shouldn't be floating in water.
Sprinkle the seeds in a thick layer on the towel.
Set it on a sunny window with water to stop the paper towel from drying out. Use a mister or spray bottle to wet the seeds, or simply add a small amount of water to the saucer by using either a small cup or jug.
Every day, check your seeds to observe how they're growing.
Troubleshooting
Alfalfa can be a very easy to grow seed that should sprout in between 2 and 6 days. Here are a few things to look out for if your seeds don't germinate in this time.
Too dry Seeds require water in order to develop. Alfalfa seeds suck up about own weight in water before they germinate, and look like they are swollen. If your seeds are dry, they won't sprout. To ensure the seeds don't get sucked up in water, شركات البذور الزراعية فى مصر add some more to your plate. It is also possible to soak your seeds overnight, but ensure that you drain and rinse them with fresh water prior to spreading them out on the paper towel.
Too moistIf the seeds are too moist, the new shoots and roots could become rotten before they have a chance to grow. The seeds can also become mouldy. It's OK for the paper towel to be wet but the seeds should not be floating on water. The excess water should be removed from the plate each time you mist or water your seeds.
Too cold or hot: Alfalfa grows best in temperatures between 20 and 25°C. If you're cultivating your seeds in winter, place them in a cool area indoors. You might need to water your seeds more frequently when you plant them in extremely warm temperatures. They'll dry much faster.
