Watching seeds germinate is wonderful activity for children and parents, particularly when seeds are sprouting quickly. Alfalfa ( Medicago sativa) is a very easy to grow seed that should begin to sprout within a week. To watch the seeds germinate in the soil, sprinkle a few alfalfa seeds on a piece of paper towel that is damp.
You'll need:
A package of Alfalfa seed (about 1.5g).
A small saucer or plate
Three paper towels
an air mister, or a small water jug
How to grow:
Set 3 sheets of paper towel on a dish.
Then drain the water off the plate. The paper towel should be dampened, but the seeds should not be floating in the water.
Spread the seeds evenly onto the towel.
To avoid the paper towel drying out, place it on a window filled with water. To moisten seeds, use a spray bottle or mister to do so. Also, add water to the saucer by using an ice cube or small jug.
Everyday, look over your seeds to determine how they're developing.
Troubleshooting
Alfalfa can be a very easy to cultivate seed that will sprout in between 2 and 6 days. If the seeds don't germinate in this time, here are a few things that might have gone wrong:
Too dry Seeds need water to grow. Alfalfa seeds absorb about their own weight of water before getting germinated, making them appear larger. If the seeds you have are too dry, they won't germinate. To ensure the seeds don't sink in water, add more water onto your plate. It is also possible to soak the seeds for a few hours. Be sure to remove them and wash them well before transferring them onto a paper towel.
Too wet: بذور جرجير Seeds that are wet may cause their roots and their shoots to turn brown before they develop. Seeds can also turn moldy. It's fine for the paper towel to be moist however the seeds should not be floating on water. Each time you mist or water seeds, remove any excess water.
Too cold or hot: The best temperature for alfalfa to grow is 20-25 degrees Celsius. If you're growing your seeds indoors in winter, set them in a cool area. You might need to water your seeds more frequently when they are grown in temperatures that are extremely hot. They'll dry faster.
