From packet to plate

How a seed becomes a harvest

Germination is simple once you know what each stage needs. Here is exactly what happens after you press a seed into soil — and what to do at every step.

Add photoDay 0

Sow

Press the seed into moist, warm soil at the depth printed on your packet, then firm it gently.

Sow at twice the depth of the seed's width.

Add photoDay 1-3

Imbibition

The seed drinks in water, swells and wakes the embryo inside. Nothing shows above ground yet.

Keep soil damp, never waterlogged.

Add photoDay 4-7

Radicle

The first root breaks the seed coat and anchors downward, hunting for water and minerals.

Do not disturb the soil surface now.

Add photoDay 7-14

Sprout

The shoot pushes up and the first seed leaves unfold to catch light and start feeding the plant.

Move to bright, indirect light.

True leaves

Real leaves appear and the seedling is ready to be thinned or potted on toward harvest.

Thin to the strongest seedling per spot.

Every packet ships with sowing depth, spacing and days-to-germinate printed on the back.
