Generally seed require a few things in order to germinate:

  1. Water/ moisture
  2. Soil (or a growing medium)
  3. Heat/ warmth
  4. Darkness or in the case of some seed light

General guide is that the seed should be covered to double the diameter of the seed itself. In the case of many small or fine seed varieties it is best to leave them uncovered with soil.

Keep the soil moist during germination, but not too wet as this can cause fungal problems.

It is always best to research the seed variety you are germinating if you are not sure of the specifics - as different seeds have different germination periods.
