Do delphinium seeds started indoors need light or dark cold or warmth?

Delphinium seeds need light to germinate, so they should be placed in a location that receives indirect sunlight. They do not require darkness or cold temperatures to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and warm around 65-70°F for successful seed germination.


If you put seeds in the dark with water will they germinate?

Yes, seeds can germinate in the dark as long as they have access to water, provided they also have the necessary conditions such as the right temperature and moisture level. While light can be beneficial for some plants post-germination, it is not essential during the initial germination phase. The seeds will utilize stored energy to sprout until they emerge from the soil and can photosynthesize.


Does the amount of light a seed is exposed to affect seed germination?

yes it does. the less light the seed has will either make the seed take longer to germinate or not germinate at all. Answer it really depends on the type of seed. some seeds like watermelon and tomato coulnd care less about how much light they get while others like lettuce would not germinate in the dark at all. but as a rule of thumb, most seeds prefer to germinate in the dark.


What is the best way to germunate seeds?

The best way to germinate seeds is to place them in a damp paper towel inside a sealed plastic bag, and keep them in a warm, dark place. Check on them daily to ensure the paper towel stays moist but not soaked. Once you see tiny roots emerging from the seeds, transfer them to soil to continue growing.


How do you germinate weed seeds?

=For me it took about 1 or 2 weeks to get a big sprout. Maybe to be fully grown is like 1 month and if your lucky, probably less than a month. Just make sure it gets sun & water. And you don't even need soil to grow u can use dirt. Use as much seeds as you want?=

Try taking a sponge, wetting it, putting the seeds in the holes putting them in the light or dark doesn't matter, and keep the sponges wet. I did this as a class project and it worked. Try it.

Can a seed grow in the dark or in the light?

No, seeds grow in day and night. It is even better if it rains. I can remember when I did something like that many years ago when I was still at school! lol (edited) Actually, I know only few seeds that grows in the dark because they cannot survive too much heat from the sun. I think it burns and dehydrates them. Seeds mostly grow under sun or fluorescent/incandescent light, where it can photosynthesize.

Is there period of dormancy can allow seeds to germinate?

Yes, in fact, there is. When a seed is expunged forth from it's casings, Chelonoidis nigra sprout out along with it.It is at this point in a seeds life-span that it can then land in the ground, and be entered into fates demise. If though, that seed were to land in a dark and dank spot, it would then begin to germinate. One such spot may inclide the innards of a human beings lungs, if a seed were to land in this spot, one would be slain.
