A mung bean certainly can grow on a wet cotton. Mung beans grow very vigorously, and quickly too. They are often used as bean sprouts in oriental dishes. If you are looking for an efficient way to have the beans germinate, this is what I suggest.
Step 1-Wet the mung beans in water to wash them.
Step 2-Put each of the beans in their own wet cotton ball.
Step 3-Then put all of them in a glass jar in a dark place for a few days.
Step 4-This should force germination, and once the seeds have germinated, put them in soil inside, relatively close to sunlight.
yes,.because it absorb the water from the cotton
For a seed to grow it needs nitrogen and as a matter of fact cotton doesn't contain nitrogen so it can't support seed growth. But fungus can grow.- If the cotton is kept moist and the proper nutrients supplied, seeds will grow in cotton very well.
Well for one thing you dont have to grow it like cotton its fairly cheap and if you wear it and get wet you wont freeze your butt off like if you wore cotton.
A seed will generally grow faster in soil compared to cotton. Soil provides essential nutrients, moisture, and stability for the seed to germinate and develop into a plant. Cotton, on the other hand, lacks the necessary nutrients and structure to support the seed's growth effectively. Overall, soil provides a more conducive environment for the seed to thrive and grow at a faster rate.
Eventually, the wet cotton will dry because of evaporation.
They need to be started in a wet napkin. When they start growing leaves/stems then plant in a pot with soil.
Wet weather would stop cotton from growing because the cotton gets wet.
Wet cotton
A plant can also germinate in wet cotton wool.because even soft things such as a wet cloth or a wet paper towelGenerally, seeds need water to grow in soil so that means that yes.
Eventually, the wet cotton will dry because of evaporation.
Cotton when wet exhibits a capillary effect and wicks much water into its volume. It does not keep you warm.
In Mountaineering and outdoors circles, cotton is known as the 'Death Cloth' because of its cooling effects when wet.
