Seed Germination Tips from Grove on Fine Seed
Grove explains best practices for sowing fine seed such as Re tunia. Mix with sand to avoid thick sowing and dust over level soil without covering. Use a glass lid and water from the bottom to prevent washout. After germination lift the lid for air and light. Larger seeds should be spaced about an inch apart and lightly covered with soil under a glass to nurse seedlings.
