Is it true that a good place to plant a seed is underneath the plant it came from?

That depends. If the plant is dead, then planting a seed beneath it can be beneficial, because as the dead plant decays, it will release nutrients into the soil that will help the seed to grow healthily. Planting a seed under a live plant, however, is typically unwise, since either the seed will kill the living plant, or the living plant will kill the seed, or both will survive, but make each other unhealthy.


Is too little heat bad for seed germination?

yes it is Cool, moist soils are usually not conducive to good seed germination since there are frequently many different and virulent pathogens in the soil which can attack the seed. The germinating seed usually cannot grow fast enough to outgrow the effects of these pathogens and the seedling dies before it can emerge from the soil. This is why seed treatments are especially important when planting in these conditions.
