5. Preventing Overcrowding

Seeds don’t like to be crowded, and they are very temperamental to the conditions of their environment. If you plant a seed in a container that doesn’t drain enough water, the seedlings will die.

If you plant seeds in too small of a container, they will be forced to compete for nutrients and oftentimes will fail to flower or grow well. If you have purchased your seeds, the packets will often tell you what kind of spacing to provide.

6. Choosing the Right Containers

The container you use to first plant your seeds should not only give the seeds plenty of space, but should also be clean and have adequate drainage. Plastic containers are best, and just about any plastic container can be used provided it has enough holes to drain water. Choosing the right container for your seeds will ensure that they grow properly and don’t become diseased or infected with any fungi.

7. Keep Planted Seeds at the Right Temperature

Although seeds that have yet to be planted are stored in cool dry places, planted seeds must be kept warm. There are many ways to help germinate your planted seeds with warmth. You can even microwave or bake the starting mix. But no matter what method you use, you must check the moisture level of the soil frequently to prevent it from drying out.

So now you’ve had some tips on how to get started on your gardening journey. Just remember: sunlight, water, nutrients and some basic skills, and you’ll be feeding yourselves in no time!
