Soaking seeds in warm water before planting can mimic natural conditions where seeds are doused with rain or melting snow, thereby accelerating the hydration of seeds. The length of immersion can be between 8'24 hours depending on the size and violence of the seeded skin.

In addition, for seeds with hard skin, you need to do a little abrasion or small incision. It aims to help water enter more easily, thereby accelerating the germination process.

Remember, light media, porous, not too dense with high nutrients will help young roots grow smoothly. Meanwhile, heavy media or high levels can damage the seeds that are just growing. So choose a light planting medium.

Seeds have their respective criteria for growth, there are seeds that need light to start germinating, some have to be planted in the dark. Pay attention to the instructions on the seed packaging so that you don't put the seeds wrong.

In addition to planting media that needs to be considered, you also need to check the soil temperature. The soil temperature is very influential. Most of the seeds germinate at best in the range of 20-30 degC. If the temperature is too low, the growth time can be longer.

There are more suitable seeds starting inside (indoors) so that control over temperature, humidity, and other conditions is better. But some plants with main roots (tap root) do not fit to be moved around, so it is better to plant them immediately outside.

It is important to remember that the planting medium of seeds must always be moist but not muddy. Drainage checks are very important so that water does not settle and young roots or stems do not rot.

Accelerating the seed-based process is not only a matter of technique, but a matter of harmony between the correct conditions with consistency and attention. By submerging the seeds, doing a scarification if necessary, choosing a light planting medium, paying attention to light and temperature, and maintaining humidity proportionally, you can see plant seeds grow faster and healthier.
