7 FATAL MISTAKES: Why Seeds Not Germinating or Sprouting?
In Today’s Episode we will look into 7 Fatal Mistakes or reasons, why your seeds are not germinating or sprouting? This knowledge and certain tricks shown in this video might take your vegetable gardening to the next level and you can achieve nearly 100% success in seed germination.
We will also look into the explanation for my previous episode on bell pepper seed germination.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert gardener, you will certainly improve your success by avoiding these common gardening mistakes and errors that will be discussed in this gardening video.
Germinating seeds is infact a simple process. But when seeds do not sprout, you feel disheartened and infact some loose their interest in gardening. But you should always take time to evaluate or diagnose the problem.
Why didn’t my seeds germinate in previous episode on bell peppers?
Here are the 7 FATAL MISTAKES or Answers to Seed Germination Problems.
ROLE OF SUNLIGHT: Do Seeds require sunlight to germinate? For most of the seeds, sunlight is not required for sprouting of the seeds. Dark, damp and warm conditions are best for the sprouting stage of germination. But once the seeds germinate and two new tiny leaves are out, they need sunlight. You must follow the “Hardening Off” Method which means a gradual exposure to sunlight, like 1 hour for the first day, 2 hours for the second, 3 hrs for the third and so on to provide full sun exposure.

I like ur videos....
Are you indian
@tsimahei your accent seems to be indian By the way love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
GARDEN TIPS excellent. 100 thumbs up
We have done tests. Not all floating seeds are bad seeds. Most will still grow. Don't throw your seeds away just plant them all.
Yeah and most will float for a couple hours before sinking.
Yes, it never hurts to plant them just in case.
Like the video showed as well, when you first put them in water some may have an air bubble attach to the outside.
@@Nuswodahs plant all your seeds. The only guarantee is if you don't plant them they won't grow
Yes I HV observed this with lady's finger seeds that I HV planted
I always water my potted plants from the bottom. It makes sense, the roots are at the bottom and the plant/soil knows how much water it needs. I set a timer for half an hour and if it’s dry I’ll add extra water, if there’s still water left I’ll dump the excess. My plants seem to like this method.
I started a few tomato seeds this year. Two pots. The seeds in the pot where I kept bottom always wet took nearly a week longer to sprout. The faster one had always at least a day without water in the bottom tray. I think this dry-day provided a kind of healthy imbalance in the soil for the growing phases of the roots.
I’m currently growing plumeria. If I were to use this method their roots would rot and they would all die. Although plants need water, too much can be just as bad as too little.
If you feed often it makes sense to top feed to flush "access" salt.
I’m learning how to bottom water. I usually just mist the topsoil, but it isn’t enough water for the seeds. I made a self-watering pot with a wick of knitting cotton and it did well. I just hate having standing water in my grow space. I was under the impression that the wick must stay wet to absorb moisture, but I supposed thats not true depending on the type of cord u use. I wonder if it would be more of a risk or aid to use a wick within the soil when bottom watering.
@@NerakGreen can u tell more about that?
When I was 10 years old I got a handful of red beans from a friend. I stored the dried beans in a plastic bag and found them again 5 years later. So I planted 5 of them and one of them grew.
That's nice
Seeds can be stored for centuries if kept cold and low humidity. Make a seed booster to give them energy they may lack.
Lele tries....thats really a experienced worth remembering.
I once swapped a cow for a bag of beans and planted them...
That’s really cool! They say seeds have a shelf life of 2-5 years, but we forget they don’t oxidize like plants and perishables do. The seed is a portable uterus for the plant embryo, like a treasure box. It’s just waiting for us to give it a little water, sunshine, and dirt to hold on to as its key to unlock. When conditions are ideal, seed becomes baby. So long as no bird eats it, seed will persevere. It really is cool to watch
This is the perfect instructional video I've seen so far. Just the right amount of information, explained in a simple manner, no confusions! I have a bunch of different seeds that are in the process of germination & a few I need to start. Thank you for making this so very easy! Appreciate all your videos! 😀
You inspired me to start gardening agn. You were right on the fungi infection. I was sick wondering what went wrong when all of my sunflower seedlings died prematurely from rotten roots. After I gave up and left the soil unattended for days, fungus started to cover on the soil surface. Now it made sense why my seedlings didn't make it. Thank you!
If u see fungus gnats (baby mosquitoes), that’s a sign ur soil has too much fungus in it. The fungus is just there, but the gnat larvae eat ur roots up. Hang and lay yellow sticky paper around ur plant to catch them before they lay eggs. U can buy food grade diatomaceous earth to puff or salt shake on the topsoil. Wally world carries PF Harris brand. You can use slices of potato to try to draw any larvae to potato instead of plant. If u know what to look for, you’ll see em on potato. Just set potato discs flat on soil and throw away when they’re covered with muck and/or dried out to heck. If all else fails, u can use a thin layer of beach sand as a topsoil to crush and suffocate any gnat larvae. I just scootch the sand over to water and comb it back over when I’m done. Dead fungus gnat larvae looks like a squiggle of coppery reddish brown dirt. As soon as it’s removed, it looks like a shred of wood. Images make them seem like worm snakes, but gosh they’re smaller than a pin. Ooo those evil plant murderers!

Thank You so Much Very simple and effective for starter, much appreciated
I am from Bulgaria, I watched your video and I think it is very useful. It helps me a lot because I'm a beginner gardener at 68. Thank you very much, I will follow exactly your recommendations!
Thanks so much!
I keep finding your content the most direct, informative, and simple...thank you
I don't often subscribe to gardening channels, but I'm really impressed with how you manage to be both clear and detailed, and you explain WHY, which is something most people forget to do (why one method works and another doesn't, etc.). Glad I found you.
Absolutely Correctly said. this is what we wanted and I subscribed, thanks a lot ,m,sia.
The "hardening" of sprouting seeds explains to me why maybe some of my seedlings have been too leggy (too tall and weak). With gradual sun exposure it sounds like the roots get more time to provide a solid base for the stem and leaves.
Collect seeds of green bell peppers when ripe. Tip: select one about to ripe green bell pepper from market and leave it on your kitchen counter till it ripens fully and starts to shrivel. At this time, tear/cut open and collect seeds for sowing immediately or completely dry for storage.
aaaaaaaaa
One of the best video with clear explanation I've seen. Thank you for sharing your tips!
Very effective advice for plant, thank you.
you have such a abundant knowledge of plants and gardening
This is probably the best seed video I’ve found on KZhead. I’m so happy this was recommended to me
Simply brilliant and concise - no wasted time, just pure useful information. 🙏🏻
I've just started my gardening channel so these tips have helped, thanks.
Excellent Explanation for Learners who scratching their heads y their seeds r not sprouting n small plants r dying.
Thanks! I just received some super hot pepper seeds that were somewhat expensive, and this information will hopefully help me grow some beautiful peppers and not just waste my money.
Very good explanation; simple and basic yet thorough. Good job, well done!
As always, very authentic and genuine useful information. Thanks for sharing.
Not only very good information straight to the point, but the images and animations are also great. Overall, one of the best presented tutorials I have seen. Thanks
100% Correctly Said. Tony. Thank you. Brother.
It took 10- days for the snow peas seeds to sprout . I soaked it overnight before sowing . I can see them sprouting from the soil . I used BLACK SOIL & compost soil .
Hy🌿🍃🌿
2:47. I am from Malaysia. Interesting! I used only red bell pepper fruits to extract seeds for sowing. I avoid the green ones. I do this out of my gut feelings - I figure out that green is unripe and red is fully ripe, and so far almost 100% of my bell pepper seeds from red fruits germinate. I never try seeds from green fruits, I got the hunch that these green seeds won't germinate. And you just verify that my gut feelings are right! Haha!
Great information! Answered a lot of my "I wonder why this is happening?" questions.
this is the simplest explanation! Thank u so much. I finally understand why my seeds didn't sprout
Really need this video..thank you so much.. my mistake is that I sow seed very deep into the soil
Good stuff about what to watch for. I would correct item one. If a seed does not sink, it MIGHT not be viable, but for many seeds it is normal to not sink, sometimes for as much as a day. So, before you toss those seeds out, walk by a half day later and tap on them to see if they sink. If they don't obey you by end of day one, then you can toss them out. If you are desperate, run a razor over the seams to take off an almost unnoticeable layer of seed at that spot, and give them another half day. Also, when it comes to heat, it isn't the heat of the air that matters. It is the heat of the soil. That is a HUGE difference. For this reason I suggest NEVER plant in ceramic pots. Ceramic pots retain coolness and can delay the germination of seeds for up to a month worth of season.
gary w very helpful. Thank you very much like this video. Thumbs up you 2 already 🍀🐕🐁🐖
Aww, one of my plants is named Star Gary. She’s my biggest gal. I just wanted to suggest low-grade sandpaper to scuff the seed coat rather than a razor that could damage the embryo. When it comes to planting seeds just so, I think people tend to make stuff up and validate it as fact to fit their habits. A seed drops where it lands and thrives without any training or nutes. I mean, of course we supplement indoors, but these plants have grown forever with a lot less than our black thumbs of death. If it can survive us and the birds, that’s all it needs. We don’t have to over complicate things just to feel special, while making others feel inferior with our PPMs and RO water with CalMag, u kno
I've started an indoor garden and this video has really helped me a lot. Thanks for the great video
Yes fantastic video. I think I make all the mistakes ;-)
More great tips thanks. I used your sandpaper trick with my coriander seeds and it worked brilliantly.
I'm so grateful I found your video. Just went through this dilemma. My eggplant seeds aren't sprouting. I think I found my mistake. Old sees, maybe. Expiry date isn't indicated in the seed packet. Also, non-sterile container. I just used up an old seedling tray, filled it with soil, without even bothering to clean it. I'm just a beginner, so I can forgive myself. Thanks for sharing this info. Great work!
My dear friend, obviously you are a highly educated and experienced gardener, I and I'm sure everyone else appreciate the detailed explanation on all the subjects , please keep up the excellent work that you do for those like me that need to learn , correct , diagnose , fix , and treat , thank you, thank you , thank you.
Thank you so much!
WELL SAID.
This helped a ton I couldent understand what I was doing wrong I looked at the date like he said the seeds went out of date 18 years ago 😂
🤣🤣🤣

Great video and very helpful for beginners, like me! We shall appreciate how simple you explained everything :)
A very wisely dealt explanation. to avoid the most common mistakes . Many many thanks
underrated channel, not even half of the viewers arent subscribed
what you said is so true. when they fail to grow you get a little disheartened. fortunately, I don't give up easily on things that I love to do.
Totally agreed old seeds let the gardener lost the interest and I have faced it many times and still facing but didn't give up😄 its always hard to find a reliable source for seeds so I always grow my seeds through tissue paper method
One of the best videos, or probably the best in terms of information & clarity! Love it!
Was really helpful in growing papaya.....was a success in 5 acre thank you

Thank you. I sure my desert rose seeds sprout soon for zone 8. Keep up the great work!
Wonderful informative and right to the point ! Thank you for the tips !
Brilliant video. Most of my germination mistakes were listed here, and its really helped me realise what I am doing wrong. Thank you
You make great videos, you explain detail very well. Thank you!😊❤
Wow! Thank you for an excellent video! I have already discovered two reasons why my seeds didn't sprout. 1. With the green pepper seeds we saved from last year, they were still green and 2. When I planted Parsley, (after soaking the seeds) I had planted the floaters, not the ones that sank to the bottom of the container.
Oh my god it literally answered all my questions ,wow what an informative video ,keep up doing the good job 😊❤
Very helpful video! I am trying to grow Luo Han Guo seeds, there is no data because it is apparently a guarded secret. I would LOVE to have these plants in my garden however for health reasons and they are just so tasty!
Thanks, love how you explain so simply

Ive tried all different methods with bat plant seeds. This has been a great help thank you.
Excellent informative .
Great Tips - Except the bottom water tray is an iffy for many places- esp. tropical countries, coz of the mosquito larvae breeding in them ... Thank you for the great information.
Thank you for practical method of germinating seeds bitter gourd God Bless.
My plant is so big now thanks of great video
The three main factors are depth, moisture and temperature.... If you get all 3 right you won't have a problem, Start in a tray and always plant more seeds then you need and then select the strongest seedlings from the tray to transplant.
Great video, thanks for posting!!! I'm lucky enough to live on the border of zones 8/9 and can get a few zone 10 plants and trees to grow. Just finished a 30ftX15ft bed today, one more to go.
💩
@@crazyharshgaming6834 😂😂😂 noice
15 feet is too wide for the bed. You need to be able to reach middle of your beds without stepping on them, which causes compaction.
Very useful and intelligent advice. I really appreciate this type of videos. Thanks.
Thank you very much. I am from the Philippines.
Thank you, Just what I was looking for.
Evidently it's important to harvest seeds only from fully ripe plants. All peppers are meant to turn red when ripe if I'm not mistaken. Learning myself!
BRILLIANT. Thank you so much very clear and un fussy
Big yes, I already tried that, soon I will upload some videos of my plants I plant from seeds, this video tips are really helpful,,
Great ideas, so helpful l've been loosing seed and time, now l know how to handle it.
Any tips for me barely starting ?
hey doc... just wanna say that this video really opened up my eyes. My brother just start germinating seeds over the holidays and I say we've had a few close calls. I only wish I knew had to do the wet paper towel method before he died from "bad seed". I would do anything to see him one more time, so could you're next video be "7 ways seed germination can bring back relatives from the dead"? Thank again doc.
Thank you so much! Have you watched my older video - kzhead.info/sun/i8ZxZN2Ce4Rvq5s/bejne.html
Much work and heart put in for creating the video. Keep it up.
Ty for your time & bless & video

THANKS GT...I SCORED .7/7 .WE NEED TO TREAT SEEDS WITH RESPECT IT SEEMS
I love your videos. They really help my gardening technique.
Hi there! I have been trying to grow green onions and so far… It's- going pretty well! I have been recording how much it grew every day! And from yesterday both of them have grown 1.5cm more from their previous height :) I found out that they grow much better, greener and faster in soil, so I was thinking of buying some recently and I came across your video! Thank you SO MUCH! I will make sure the soil is moist enough for my vegetables to grow, like- you're seriously underrated! And the fact that you're literally hearting almost everyone's comments just shows how much of an amazing and awesome person you are! The video is clearly instructed causing no confusion and is very clear. + Once again, Thank you so much for this video, you have no idea have much this will help me! Just earned yourself a Sub, lots of Love

I'm trying to grow watermelons in my back garden and this is very helpful thanks
Do you have advice for growing watermelons in the uk
I once grew a plant and it was such a beautiful plant like seriously haha, i took care of it alot but when i thought it was ready i exposed it to thr sun and planted it in my moms garden where there’s definitely alot of sun, It died sadly, but now I’m making sure I’m not making any mistakes again or mistakes that i might do
Thanks you so much. God bless you.
Very clearly explained Thank you
we are now trying to get a tree growning from an apple seed we took from an rotten apple from our garden. we placed the seed directly in some soil, hope this will work.
Philipp Doppler Apple seeds need to go through a cold period such as what the experience during winter in order to sprout in the spring.
Good guide pal, and I would still say the 8th mistake is lack of sunlight, 9th also lack of sunlight :) In short, the more the better !
Some seeds are phytochromic, using light as one of many signal to germinate. If they see too much far-red with respect to red, the deep red they see when under a tree with foliage, it turns them off. Direct sunlight, for some seeds, is a signal to germinate since the reds are more uniform. Combined with moist, warm soil it says "spring is here!".
Thank you so much ! Your video is very enlightening! ❤️
Sir I did same mistake 😕 Germination is failure to normal growth. This tips very useful to me. Thank you. Valzha valamudan 😊
