Is it possible to sprout seeds for seedlings in just a night? Quite!
I really like to grow seedlings and plants for my garden. And somehow I decided to search the Internet how to germinate the seeds in a quick way. One of the foreign sources described the method of "scarification of seeds."
It turns out that if you germinate the seeds in the usual classical way, then most of the entire process time is spent on soaking the seed coat and access of moisture to the body itself.
The method of scarification is the process of removing part of the protective membrane of the seed for direct access of moisture to the nucleus.
Materials needed
- Dried seeds you need for germination.
- Paper napkin or towel.
- Sandpaper or nippers.
- Water.
- Zip bag with clasp or regular plastic bag.
Germination process
We take the seed, and it does not matter what plant it is. This simple way can be applied to any crops and seeds.
Using sandpaper, grind a piece of the shell to the body of the seed. This can be done with ordinary pieces for nails. It is only necessary to damage part of the containment to provide access to water.
In the end, you should get this kind of seed with a cropped side.
Now packing. We take a paper towel and moisten it with plenty of water. We spread the processed seeds on it at a small distance from each other. And we put this whole thing in a zip package. We put on in a desirable warm place and wait.
The result is this: that 10 seeds out of 20 sprouted in about 13-15 hours! It's even less than 24 hours! At the end of the day, the rest also grow.
Here is such an amazing method that saves your time perfectly.
