After 4 days 17 out of 20 seeds germinated. However it is to be seen how many of them will transform into a healthy sapling ready to be transplanted. In August temperature is on the higher side and during daytime very often it extends beyond 30 degree cencius, so I was anxious about whether the temperature exceeds the required for dianthus germination. However this is the result I have got. Thanks seedsnpots team for supplying high quality fresh seeds. As always I use sterile soilless coco peat based potting mix for seed germination.
