Since the last post, House plants and garden designs, I
have been working on the content layout for both of these upcoming projects. As
usual, I was extremely eager to get writing. The product of this burst of ambition
is my latest article, Tips for growing plants in an indoor germination station,
which has been published at Helium. As germination is an integral part
of growing any plant, outside or in, I thought this would be a great place to
start for both projects.
When working with plant seedlings or cuttings, most plants
need, or will significantly benefit from the use of, a germination station. Whether
planning to start seedlings for your upcoming vegetable or herb garden, or propagating
a favorite house plant, your germination station could be as simple as cups on
the window sill to a system complex as a self-feeding, computerized germination
station bought from a store.
As plant propagation and nurturing delicate seedlings is not
for everyone, for the wary, the following article link and collection of tips it encompasses
will be helpful for successfully starting your new plants in a germination station.

Hi Jessica
ReplyDeleteI am doing the very same thing. i have just got myself a thermostic controlled propagator but have not had chance to use it yet, i am hoping 2013 to set all my own plants off i have always in past bought plug plants which work out very expensive if its ok i will keep popping back to see how things are going
One of the most beneficial tools I have used when starting seeds indoors is a bottom heat mat. Really improved my success.
ReplyDeleteThank you both for the comments!
ReplyDeleteYes, a heating mat is a great addition that I forgot to mention. Thank you sensiblegardening.
