I am always frustrated by growing plants from seed I would like to grow flowering plants in particular and i haven't been successful yet I hope I get some advice on this, and I would like to know what is the cause of my failure in this? Hoping to pinpoint the problem and overcome it thanks in advance
Hi Ethylene, Without knowing what is happening, it would be difficult to say. I too found it difficult to grow plants from seed. Then I realized that I wasn't paying close enough attention to them with watering and light requirements. For each of us it is different. Take a look at these sites to see if the information helps you to id what you need to change. http://www.muextension.missouri.edu/explore/agguides/hort/g06570.htm This site has lots of interesting info on germinating seeds. http://tomclothier.hort.net/ more sites http://theseedsite.co.uk/ http://www.savvygardener.com/Features/seed_starting_calendar.html http://www.chestnut-sw.com/seedhp.htm Scroll down here to 'Spindly Plants' http://extension.missouri.edu/nwregion/ExtNews/March 04/hHort0304.htm Don't give up!
