When I plant the seeds, how many inches in the ground do I put the seeds?

Just barely cover the seed with soil. Dome the pot or put it in a plastic bag and put it under a light in a warm place. It only take a few days to germinate. Good luck and happy growing.:)

millimeters, not inches. I spread the seeds out in the pot and lightly sprinkled them with soil. I only got 2 of ten seeds to actually sprout and they take forever to grow. After 10 months they are only 3 inches tall.

You should start the seeds indoors, or they will just blow away in the wind. Use a mix of perlite and commercial potting soil, cover the seeds with only enough soil to keep them from blowing away, and keep the soil moist but not soggy (if it is always soaking wet, mold will grow and kill your plants). The Adenium forums at gardenweb.com have a lot of good information from growers with much more experience than I have.

First, soak the seeds for 2-3 hrs. Start them indoors in 2" pots. Use a "seed starting mix." Make a dimple in the well-watered soil. Lay the seed on its side in the dimple. Cover the pots with clear plastic to create humidity. Place in a well-lit, bright, but not direct sunlight. Mist daily depending on whether the seed casing looks damp or not. They will pop up in about 3 to 5 days! I planted 11 seeds, but only 5 made it. I have been growing mine under fluorescent lights. These instructions came with my seeds ordered from Amazon.com.

I've had that problem also when I planted them in pots. So, as soon as I sprouted several seeds, I planted them outdoors when the danger of frost has past. Three actually grew to about 10 ft tall before winter came back.A friend actually grew them in her greenhouse in big pots. You could try doing it that way.

Just need to plant them and water asap :). Instructions can be found found on the Mr Stacky website which shows best planting practices. Roots in the ground, crowns just above the soil line. Roots come dormant and coming out of dormancy so they are thirsty when you get them. New signs of growth will happen in 1-3 days. The weight should just be ignored amazons shipping goes on weight which is not accurate with actual USPS rates for shipping live plants so we the seller has to correct it by adding weight.Thank you very much!

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.

They only come up about a foot when in the ground. They are smaller. Not huge. They were great for sheltering my heads of lettuce in the garden this year.

Yes, I put seed down, then cover with the fabric. You can still drop seed on the fabric, but doubt much of the seed would make it through to the ground.

I planted mine in a strawberry planter so the soil was only about four inches deep and the roots were 4 or 5 inches apart. The plants all grew well but did not produce a large amount of berries.

I plant mine in very early Spring...just as soon as the threat of frost has passed. Once they start to bloom, they will bloom until frost. When the seed heads pop, save the seeds and plant them the next Spring!

I usually fill the pot with potting soil mix and compost up to about 1 or 2 inches from the top. You can just plant the tomato in the middle, maybe just allow the soil to slightly cover the soil line of the previous potting. If there was a lot of root circling the bottom of the previous container or be sure to trim the roots a little when you plant it.

If the plant is to be planted in the ground it should contain some of the soil dug for the plant. I use about 60% soil. 30% potting soil and 10% compost, well mixed.

I really would like to know this answer myself. I purchased 100 seeds and planted 40 of them. I soaked them for 2 days, then put them in 4 inch cups and kept them wet for 6 months. Not even a single one came up. I was disappointed.

Hi there, this is Lisa, I am the owner of Zziggysgal. A method that I like best, is to poke several holes, spaced at least 1-2 inches apart, and place 1-3 seeds in each.

I live in California, and usually start my seeding the 2nd or 3rd of March. For you, being in a colder climate, might not be a bad idea to wait until about the middle of the month. Start your seeding indoor, and transfer the plants to the ground about 6 weeks later.Good luck.

I used two bags of 2 cu ft sized garden soil which filled the bed 3/4, leaving an inch or two of siding exposed. Another reviewer recommended 3 bags. I'm only starting flower seeds so I think it depends on what you will grow and how big the roots will be.

I planted them in 1/2 Top Soil, 1/2 Miracle Grow. Small pot to start with, bigger pots as they mature. Warm Temp; around 70-75. Same light as all other house plants and it grows. Pretty simple seedling Process.

I put mine in regular organic soil in a small 4 " pot. Per 5 seeds evenly spaced Ill usually get one that grows. they are pain to grow. I put them about 1/2 cm into the soil. They like humidity but dont over water. once a week is good. if its not doing well put a clear plastic bag over it for a few days ( like proudce bags from the store )

I just used the tip of my finger and rubbed the seeds off then I put a thin layer of soil over them. I really had a high germination rate with them!
