Getting plants started - question?

I bought some packets of flower seeds (perienniel) today.?



These are the ones that cost around $1.oo and have about 50 little seeds in each packet. I bought Viola and two others. I have those little 3x4 planters. I filled them with dirt, ready to plant.



The main question is: how many of those little seeds in the pack do you put in one little pot?

3-4 seeds per pot and make sure that they stay moist. I liked the peat pots the best since you can just bury the pot when they start sprouting. Happy Planting
Reply:Hi:

I have germinated thousands of seeds in both a greenhouse and indoors. I agree with the other answers, three to four seeds per pot. There are a few other key things you can do to ensure your seeds do well in the germination process.



Purchase some light weight potting soil, with no bark. Add some vermiculite and some humus to the soil. Add hot tap water to the soil mixture. The hot water is great for the roots to get established. I will link you to the spice and herb section of my website. There is a page on herb growing from seeds. You do flowers and vegetables the same way. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. There are many articles, tips, and techniques that you may be able to use. Good luck with your flower seeds and have a great day!

Reply:Did you use soil from the ground? If so, they might not grow for you. You need a starter soil that you can buy at a nursery or gardening center.



Don't let them dry out until they have four sets of leaves, then you can hold back.



Happy gardening to you.
Reply:they usually suggest 3-4 seeds per pot. then you thin out the smallest seedlings as they start to sprout.
