Gardening Terms Defined
Germination: The process when a seed begins to sprout and grow into a seedling.
Cotyledon leaves: The first leaves that emerge from a sprouting seed, providing initial nutrients.
Hydroscopic retention: Soil's ability to absorb and hold moisture for plant roots.
Transplanting: Moving a seedling from its starter container to a larger pot or outdoor garden.
The Planting Experience
Open the kit to reveal real loose premium potting soil with a matte, lightweight density and granular texture. Add water and watch the fibrous soil expand slightly as it absorbs moisture. Press seeds gently into the granular depth, cover lightly, and place in bright light. Within days, you'll see the apical meristem (growing tip) push through the soil surface, followed by cotyledon leaves unfurling toward the light.
