Instructions

Prepare a seed cell, thoroughly water it, press the seeds gently into the soil, but do not cover as seeds need light to germinate. Recommended soil temperature of 12-18 degree Celsius. Evening scented stock are highly susceptible to damping off. However, a technique that works well when sowing seeds of plants that are susceptible to damping off is using seed cells with a fitted water tray underneath. This allows you to water from the bottom, thus keeping the soil closest to the stem drier and not disturbing the germinating seeds. Use a spray bottle to keep the seeds moist until they sprout and then switch over to bottom watering. This practice aids in averting damping off as well as encourages the roots to reach for the water down below Sow under bright light and with some ventilation nearby. Germination 5 to 20 days.
