🪴 Step-by-Step: How to Start Seeds Indoors
1. Choose the Right Container
Use seed trays or small containers with drainage holes.
This helps prevent overwatering and root rot.
2. Use a Light, Well-Draining Soil
Avoid regular garden soil.
👉 A seed starting mix is lighter and helps seeds germinate more easily.
3. Plant Seeds at the Right Depth
A simple rule:
👉 Plant seeds about 2–3 times as deep as their size.
4. Water Gently
Keep the soil moist but not soaked.
👉 A spray bottle works best for beginners.
