GERMINATION
OF SEEDS
Below
a method of
germination is shown
by using wet tissues.
Be careful not to
damage the freshly
germinated
seeds.
|
1)
Use normal
tissue paper, as
is used in the
kitchen!
|
2)
Take one piece.
|
|
3)
Fold it twice.
|
4)
Use a normal
plate to put the
folded tissue
on.
|
|
5)
Take the tissue
of the plate to
wet it with
normal water out
of the tap. Then
place it back on
the plate.
|
6)
Take your seeds
and put them on
the wet kitchen
tissue.
|
|
7)
Take another
tissue, fold and
wet it. Then
place it over
the seeds.
|
8)
Cover them
completely.
|
|
9)
Cover the
tissues and the
seeds with a
second plate.
|
10)
Normally the
seeds germinate
within 2 - 5
days.
|
FURTHER
INSTRUCTION
Put
the plates in a warm
and dark place (20 -
25 degrees Celsius)
and check the seeds
once a day. Very soon,
out of every seed, a
little white piece
will come out; the
seeds start to sprout.
This white piece is
the beginning of a
rooting system. Two
little leaves are
still hiding within
the seed. You can now
put the seeds, with
the white pieces
downwards, into
another medium. It is
not necessary to cover
the seeds completely.
When a little tip of
the seed is still
visible, you can more
easy follow the
further development.
