The warmer the environment, the faster the germination. The best average temperature to grow your plants is 18 to 24'C (64 to 75'F). Usually it takes 1 to 2 weeks to germinate. Some plants such as mini tomato, chili pepper and rosemary may take up to 3 weeks.

What is germination and when does it occur?

In summary, seed germination is the process of a fertilized plant ovary, or seed, developing into a mature plant. Seed germination starts with imbibition, when the seed takes in water from the soil. This triggers root growth to allow the seed to get more water.

How long is the germination period for your type of seed?

Seeds with delayed breaking of dormancy generally take 3-8 months to germinate. Seeds usually germinate within 2-6 weeks at 75-85F. Variable, some seeds sprout within 1-3 weeks, others take much longer. Soil must be at 70-85F for reliable germination results.
