Ensure your planter has proper drainage; refer to the seed package for watering instructions as moisture needs vary.

Use a seed starting soil mix for optimal results, as regular potting mix may lead to drainage, pest, density, and nutrient ​issues.

Press seeds into soil surface, approximately 1 1/2 times their size deep, as directed on the seed packet.

Maintain even soil moisture for germination, checking daily to prevent surface dryness.

Cover planted seeds with plastic wrap until germination, and mist soil to avoid disturing seeds.

Transition to gentle watering as seedlings emerge to prevent root disturbance; water every 2-3 days, adjusting as needed ​based on plant type and environment.

Position seedlings near a north facing window for 12-14 hours of daily light, consulting the seed packet for spcific sunlight ​requirements.

Acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions gradually by increasing sun and wind exposure daily, starting in a shady, wind-​protected spot for 1 hour and extending expsure gradually. If seedlings wilt during acclimation, move them to a shadier spot ​or indoors.
