Do you want to have a garden full of color? Discover how to germinate flower seeds

With the arrival of good weather the plants begin to bloom and the garden comes back to life after having spent a few months practically asleep. There are more and more hours of daylight, and the temperatures are pleasant enough to be able to work comfortably outdoors. It is time to sow.

If you want to have a multicolored corner year after year, we are going to show you how to germinate flower seeds.

Before starting it is important that you know one thing: although the images in the article correspond to the Delphinium plant, to sow lively, annual and / or biannuals you must follow the same steps. That said, now yes, put on the gloves that we are going to get to work on .

Preparing the planting material

The first thing we have to do is, of course, collect the ripe fruits of our flowers, or acquire seed envelopes. Once we have it, we will proceed to put them in a glass of water at room temperature for 24 hours, so we will know which are the ones that will surely germinate, which will be the ones that sink.

The next day, we will prepare the following:

• Hotbed: It can be anything from flowerpots to seedling trays, through peat tablets, milk or yogurt containers, etc.
• Substratum: As they are plants that are not demanding and also have a very high germination rate, you can use universal substrate for plants, although it is advisable to mix it with 20% perlite to avoid problems with irrigation.
• Watering can with water: You can not miss. After each sowing and transplant, you have to water.
• Sunny place: For the seeds to germinate and grow well, it is important that the seedbed is placed in an area exposed directly to the sun.

Sowing the seeds

Now that we have everything, we will fill the seedbed with substrate and water it so that the seed can germinate as soon as possible. Afterwards, we will only have to cover it a little with soil and water it.

Being very fast growing plants, it is preferable to put a maximum of 2 seeds in each seedbed. Thus, in the event that both germinate, when they are 5cm high, it would be much easier for us to separate them and plant them in individual pots. And for sure both of them would continue to grow .

Enjoy your flowers!
