Growing Starts Before Anything Appears
Seed, bulb, tropical variety or something unusual?
Start with the individual plant, then match the warmth, moisture, light and growing medium.
GROWING WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
Follow the Plant, Not a Generic Routine
Germination requirements can vary enormously between species.
Some plants need warmth and consistent moisture. Others need different light, airflow or much more patience before anything happens.
Some tropical seeds need warmer conditions to germinate successfully, so always check the requirements of the individual variety.
Seeds need suitable moisture to begin growing, but the right level varies and constantly saturated conditions will not suit everything.
Use a growing medium suited to the particular plant, especially for smaller or more sensitive seeds.
Some seeds germinate quickly while others can take several weeks or considerably longer. Slow does not automatically mean failed.
STILL WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN?
Germination Does Not Run to Your Schedule
Freshness, temperature, moisture and the individual species can all affect how quickly a seed begins to grow. Sometimes the hardest part really is waiting.

A Few Things You Might Want to Know
Can You Grow Houseplants From Seed? +
Absolutely. Many plants can be grown from seed, although germination time and success rates can vary considerably between species.
Always follow the requirements of the individual plant rather than treating every seed the same.
What Is the Best Way to Germinate Plant Seeds Indoors? +
The right method depends on the species.
Seeds generally need a suitable combination of moisture, warmth, light and airflow to germinate successfully.
Using the correct growing medium is important too, particularly for smaller or more sensitive seeds.
How Long Do Houseplant Seeds Take to Germinate? +
It varies enormously.
Some seeds can begin germinating relatively quickly, while others may take several weeks or considerably longer.
Freshness, temperature, moisture and the individual species can all affect germination.
Do Tropical Seeds Need Extra Warmth? +
Some tropical houseplant seeds need warmer, more humid and more consistent conditions to get started.
Check the individual variety before deciding how to germinate it.
How Do I Plant and Grow Bulbs Indoors? +
Bulbs should be planted at the appropriate depth in a growing medium suited to the particular plant.
They then need the light, temperature and watering conditions appropriate for that variety.
Why Is Nothing Happening With My Bulb? +
Some bulbs naturally go through periods of active growth and dormancy.
Do not automatically assume a dormant bulb is dead simply because nothing is happening above the growing medium.
Are Seeds and Bulbs Good for Beginners? +
They can be, particularly if you choose varieties with more straightforward germination and care requirements.
Growing from seed or bulb also gives you the chance to understand a plant from the very beginning.
If you would rather start with an established plant, explore Easy Care.
What Growing Medium Should I Use for Seeds? +
The right growing medium depends on the species.
Smaller or more sensitive seeds can be particularly dependent on suitable moisture, drainage and growing conditions.
Explore Jungle Mixes for growing media and substrates.

Absolutely.
