Grow Your Own Alfalfa Seeds

Children are fascinated by watching seeds sprout. This is especially the case when seeds grow quickly. Alfalfa is one of the easiest seeds to grow and should sprout within a week. To see the seeds germinate you can sprinkle some alfalfa seedlings on a sheet of damp paper towel.

What you'll need:
Alfalfa seeds in a packet (about 1.5g)
A small saucer or plate
Three pieces of paper towel
A spray mister, or a small water container

How to grow:
Take 3 pieces of paper towels and put them on top of one another flat on a table.
Take the water off the plate. The paper towel should be damp, but the seeds shouldn't sit in the water.
Sprinkle the seeds evenly onto the paper towel.
Place on a sunny windowsill and add water to prevent the towel from drying. To moisten seeds, بذور برسيم utilize a spray bottle or mister. Also, add water to the saucer using the help of a small jug or cup.
Every day, check your seeds to see how they're growing.

Troubleshooting
Alfalfa can be a very easy to cultivate plant that will begin to be able to germinate in between 2 and 6 days. If seeds do not germinate within this time frame there are a few possible reasons why things went wrong:

Too dry. Seeds require water to grow. Alfalfa seeds absorb about their weight in water prior to getting germinated, making them appear like they are swollen. If the seeds you have are dry, they will not germinate. In order to ensure that your seeds don't sink in water, add more water onto your plate. You can also soak your seeds overnight. Just make sure to remove them and wash them well before transferring them to a towel.

Too moistIf the seeds are too damp, their roots and shoots may rot before they have a chance to develop. Also, it is possible that mould could begin to grow around the seeds. It's acceptable for the paper towel to get wet, but the seeds shouldn't be floating on water. Remove any excess water from the dish each when you water or mist the seeds.

Too cold or too hot: Alfalfa grows best in temperatures between 20 and 25°C. If you're planting your seeds indoors during winter, put them in a warm location. You might need to regularly water your seeds when they are grown in extremely warm temperatures. They will dry out more quickly.
