Children enjoy watching seeds germinate. This is particularly true when seeds sprout quickly. Alfalfa ( Medicago the sativa) is a straightforward to cultivate seed that will sprout in around a week. Sprinkle a small quantity of alfalfa seeds onto a moist paper towel and watch it grow and germinate.
You'll need:
a packet of alfalfa seeds (about 1.5g)
A small or small dish, or a saucer
Three pieces of paper towels
A spray mister or small water container
How to Grow:
Take 3 pieces of paper towel, then lay them on top the other on a platter.
Then drain the water off the plate. The paper towel must be damp, but the seeds shouldn't be floating on water.
Sprinkle the seeds evenly onto the towel.
To prevent the paper towel drying out, place it on a window with water. Use spray bottles or misters to wet the seeds, or simply add a small quantity of water into the saucer by using either a small cup or jug.
Everyday, you should check your seeds and see how they're growing.
Troubleshooting
Alfalfa seed is easy to grow and should begin to germinate in 2-6 days. Here are some things to keep an eye on if your seeds don't germinate within this time.
Too dry: اسعار بذور البرسيم Seeds need water to grow. Alfalfa seeds absorb about their weight in water prior to germinating, making them look larger. If the seeds you have are dry, they won't germinate. To make sure the seeds don't sink in water, add more onto your plate. You can also soak your seeds overnight; just ensure that you drain and rinse them with clean water before spreading them onto the paper towel.
Too wet:If the seeds are damp, their roots and sprouts could begin to rot before they are able to develop. It's also possible that mould may begin to grow around the seeds. It's okay for the paper towel to be damp but the seeds should not be floating on water. Remove any excess water from the plate every when you water or mist the seeds.
Too cold or hot: Alfalfa thrives when temperatures are between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. If you're growing your seed indoors in winter, place them in a warm place. You may need to keep your seeds hydrated more often should you cultivate them in extreme temperatures. They'll dry faster.
