Watching seeds sprout is a fantastic activity for kids particularly when the seeds develop quickly. Alfalfa is an easy-to-grow seed that should develop within one week. For a chance to observe the seeds grow in the soil, sprinkle a few alfalfa seeds on a piece of damp paper towel.
You'll need:
A packet of Alfalfa seeds (about 1.5g).
A small plate or saucer
3 pieces of paper towel
A spray mister , or a small water container
How to Develop
Get 3 pieces of paper towel, then put them on top of the other on a platter.
Then drain the water off the plate. The paper towel needs to be dampened, إنتاج تقاوى البرسيم الحجازي but seeds shouldn't sit in water.
Spread the seeds evenly onto the towel.
Put the paper towel on a sunny window and water to stop the towel from drying. You can use a mister or spray bottle to wet the seeds, or you can add a small amount of water to the saucer with an ice cube or a small cup.
Check your seeds every day to see how they're developing.
Troubleshooting
Alfalfa seeds are very easy to grow and should sprout within 2 to 6 days. If the seeds fail to germinate in this time there are a few possible reasons why things went wrong:
Too dry. Seeds require water to grow. Alfalfa seeds absorb about half their weight in water before they sprout, making them appear to be swollen. If the seeds you have are too dry they will not sprout. Add more water to the plate to make sure that the seeds are moist but not floating in the water. It is also possible to soak the seeds overnight. Make sure you remove them and wash them thoroughly prior to transferring them onto a paper towel.
Too moistIf the seeds are moist, the new shoots and roots could become rotten before they get a chance to develop. There is also a chance that mould can begin to grow on the seeds. It's okay for the paper towel to get wet however, the seeds shouldn't be floating in water. Drain excess water from the tray each when you water or mist your seeds.
Too cold or too hot: Alfalfa grows best when temperatures are between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. If you are growing your seeds in winter, you can put them in a cool place inside. If you're growing your seeds in very warm temperatures, you may have to water your seeds more often as they will dry out faster.
