How to sow seeds indoors
1Prepare the planting container. Moisten the growing medium thoroughly to provide a good environment for seed growth. Place the substrate into the container, leaving about 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) of space from the top of the container. Place the container in a sunny, well-ventilated place and ensure a constant and warm temperature.

Many seeds can be spread evenly over the surface of the medium. Don't broadcast too much at once, as its easy to overcrowd. - 3Some seeds should be planted approximately 1/2 to 1/4 inch (1.25-0.62 cm) below the growing medium ) place. You will want to read the planting instructions carefully to check the planting depth.
- Some seeds need to be refrigerated or soaked before sowing.
- Provide appropriate light for different seeds. Most seeds do not require light to germinate, but they do need it immediately once they germinate.
- Most seeds grow best at 25.6 degrees Celsius, but some require higher or lower temperatures.
4Keep The seeds are moist. Growing medium dries out easily because it doesn't hold water very well. So water regularly and don't let the seeds dry out too much. - You can wrap a layer of plastic wrap around the seeds to keep them moist.
- Don’t water too much, otherwise the seeds will easily drown. They need to be moist and don't need to swim.
5Ensure the health of the seedlings. After the seeds germinate, you will see green stems break through the "soil". At this time, the container should have direct sunlight, and the seeds need a moist and warm environment.
