A small or small dish, or a saucer Three pieces of paper towel an air mister, or a small water Jug How to Grow: Wet 3 pieces of paper towels and set them on top of each other flat on a table. Remove the water from the plate. The paper towel should be damp, but the seeds should not be floating in the water. Sprinkle the seeds in a thick layer on the paper towel.

If the seeds fail to germinate during this time Here are some possibilities of what could have gone wrong: Too dry: Seeds require water in order to develop. Alfalfa seeds soak about weight in water prior to getting germinated, making them appear larger. If the seeds you have are dry they will not sprout. You can add more water to the plate until the seeds are damp but not floating. You can also try soaking your seeds overnight; just be sure to drain and rinse them off with fresh water prior to spreading them on the paper towel. Too moist Seeds that are too wet can cause their roots as well as their shoots to rot before they can develop. Also, it is possible that mould can begin to develop on the seeds. It's OK for the paper towel to get wet however, the seeds shouldn't be floating on water. The excess water should be removed from the plate every when you water or mist the seeds. Too cold or زراعة بذور الملوخية too hot: Alfalfa thrives when temperatures are between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. If you're cultivating your seeds in winter, put them in a warm place inside. If you're cultivating your seeds in very warm temperatures you may need to water them more often as they will dry out more quickly.
