How to Plant Seeds
- Choose a container. This can be a plastic cup, plastic container, or even a flower pot.
- Fill your container up with soil.
- In each container, take 2 or 3 seeds and push them into the dirt. Make sure to cover the seeds entirely with the dirt! The general rule of thumb is to cover seeds with soil equal to three times their thickness.
- Add water to your container. You can pour water into it using a cup, a hose or even your sink's faucet! TIP: Only add enough water to make the soil damp. You don't want to drown your seeds!
- Place your container in a sunny spot. This can be on a window sill, a table next to a window, or even outside!
- Continuously add water to your container every couple of days, making sure to not over water the plant. You'll know that you have over watered when the water does not soak into the soil, and instead pools up on top. In a few days, your seeds will start to sprout!
