Coleus Chocolate Mint pack of 8-10 seeds Imported

Coleus Chocolate Mint Pelleted seeds are seeds that have been coated with a layer of inert material to make them larger, rounder, and easier to handle. This coating can also include nutrients, fungicides, or other additives to help improve germination and early growth. Here’s a step-by-step guide to germinating pelleted seeds:

Coleus Chocolate Mint Materials Needed:

• Pelleted seeds
• Seed starting mix
• Seed trays or small pots
• Clear plastic cover or plastic wrap (optional)
• Spray bottle
• Labels (optional)
• Grow lights or a sunny windowsill

Steps:

1. Prepare the Seed Starting Mix:
   • Use a sterile seed starting mix to prevent disease. Moisten the mix with water until it’s damp but not soggy.
2. Fill Seed Trays or Pots:
   • Fill your seed trays or small pots with the moistened seed starting mix. Leave a small gap at the top to prevent water from spilling over.
3. Sow the Pelleted Seeds:
   • Place the pelleted seeds on the surface of the soil. Because they are larger and easier to handle, you can space them more accurately. Press them gently into the soil but do not cover them completely, as they may need light to germinate depending on the plant species.
4. Water the Seeds:
   • Use a spray bottle to mist the soil surface lightly. This helps to keep the seeds in place and provides the moisture needed for germination. The coating on pelleted seeds needs to dissolve for the seeds to germinate, so maintaining moisture is crucial.
5. Cover the Trays/Pots (Optional):
   • You can cover the seed trays or pots with a clear plastic cover or plastic wrap to create a humid environment. This helps retain moisture and warmth but is not strictly necessary for all seeds.
6. Provide Light:
   • Place the trays or pots under grow lights or in a sunny windowsill. If using grow lights, keep them on for 12-16 hours a day. Ensure you know the light requirements of the specific plant you are growing, as some seeds need light to germinate while others do not.
7. Maintain Moisture:
   • Check the soil regularly to ensure it stays moist but not waterlogged. Mist with water as needed. Avoid overwatering, which can cause the seeds to rot. The coating of pelleted seeds needs to dissolve completely, which requires consistent moisture.
