How to Plant Regular Seedlings
Regular seed can be used for the creation of many different plants that are specific to certain climates. Growing from seed with regular seeds is a great way to cultivate large numbers of either female or male plants at the same time.
In order to grow any type of plant from seed you will need a container of some sort. This container may be a small vase of some type or a medium sized pot or bed that is at least six inches in diameter. The larger the pot the larger the number of plants you can have.
Next you will need a medium such as clover or alfalfa if you plan on growing a salad of vegetables, flowers or herbs. If you are interested in a vegetable garden, you will need a medium that can provide good drainage. Alfalfa works well for this. Another option for a medium is peat moss because it can also provide drainage.
If you are looking to grow plants specifically for use in the garden there are two options that can be chosen from seed or seedling. Seedling is the process of planting from a seedling which is a smaller plant than the parent plant that was taken.
The reason for the smaller seedling is because the larger plant has a tendency to produce more offspring, thus it takes more space than one would need for a seedling. Some seedlings may be small enough to just be added into the garden. Others will need to be transplanted into larger containers or another container of their own size to provide additional growth space.
A regular seedling can be planted and then replanted within a few weeks and still provide the same amount of growth for the same amount of time. If the seedling is transplanted into a container that is too large for the plant to be able to grow the same number of seeds needed it will die back to its smaller roots.
There are a number of varieties of regular seedlings that can be found on the market that can be used for transplanting. When purchasing these seeds you will want to make sure they are germinated in a greenhouse.
Once you have the seeds for your planting in place you will need to start a new regular seedling. You can do this by either purchasing a small pot and placing it into the pot in the same manner you would place an egg. to incubate a chicken egg, or by placing a larger container directly on top of the seeds you are trying to start.
The incubator will begin to break down the germs that may have been present within the seed to allow you to start the germination process. After it has broken down the germs you will be able to insert the seed directly into the soil where you want the seedling.
Once the seedling is ready to be planted, you will want to dig up the soil you put into the container or pot and spread it out over the seedling and plant the soil on top of the seedling. This allows it to fill out evenly with soil.
You will want to make sure you give the seed a little at least once or twice a week for it to be watered until it has been established on its roots and that is a couple of small amounts each month. After the seedlings have developed to a point where it needs to be watered it should not need any more than this amount of water every couple of months.
It is important to note that these small amounts of water are still sufficient and it is not a good idea to water the regular seedlings every time it rains. If the seeds dry out too much it can cause them to fall apart and break.
If you water the seedlings too often, it could cause them to be more susceptible to disease, which can actually result in the seedling dying. As with any type of growing process you need to be patient and monitor how your seedlings grow.
