How To Grow Flowers From Seed With Pictures

You may also want to incorporate compost into the soil to promote flower growth.

Not all seeds will become flowers. Labeling will also prevent you from mistaking your seedlings for weeds.

A balanced 5-10-10 fertilizer can be used on the widest variety of flowers.

If you don’t want to buy a planter, you can punch holes in the bottom of an egg carton and use that instead. Put a rag or cloth under the container to prevent leaks.

You can also wrap the planter in a plastic bag for a similar effect.

Move the planter before you use the oven or heat could damage the seeds.

The seed package should give you a range of temperatures in that the flower will thrive. If a flower is cold-resistant, it should be labeled as hardy. Tender flowers are less resistant to cold and should always be in an area that’s over 40 °F (4 °C).

Monitor the seedlings to make sure that they don’t die after the transplant.
