Bought a year ago, misplaced instructions. Got the little scoop though! I just want to germinate seeds. Anyone w/instructions out there?

If you want to germinate seeds, the best product I have used is plain old drugstore hydrogen peroxide in water. Doing controlled germination experiments using many different types of seeds, there is no question that the seeds in the water with peroxide germinated the best in every single seed tested. I germinate my seeds in about 1-2oz water in a little sample cup they use at restaurants, and the quantity does not have to be exact, add from one to two oz peroxide per quart water used, or if you prefer, add 1-2 ml peroxide to each oz water. 1ml = 20 drops if you can't measure 1ml. My most recent preliminary seed germinating experiments seem to indicate that a product called "Great White" (purchased from Amazon), a combination of symbiotic soil microorganisms, seem to help with germination. I am not finished testing yet. Have only tested with pinto beans (with large seeds like beans and corn, I use 4oz water and always change it every day to keep it clean. I hope this helps you, and perhaps you would like to test these and other substances further.

I have the instructions but seem to recall the calculations were not accurate. If you will send me your email address, I will be glad to scan the instructions and send them to you in a .TIF file; that is, if and when I am able to locate them, and it may take a while. There are here but haven't looked at them in a long time because I didn't find GA useful in speeding seed germination at any of the recommended levels.

Look up "Advanced Nutrients Feed Chart" and it will give directions. This is used only in flowering, specifically during mid flower.

You Sprinkle The Granules Into The Soil. I Used A Tablespoon. Depending On The Pot Size And InfestAtion Determine The Amount I Used. I Believ You Can Peel The Back label For Directions. It Works!

I have had great success with the Moringa seeds I purchased. Just a couple suggestions that may help. I soak the seeds in filtered water (no chlorine) for 24 hours and then I leave the shell on. Some suggest removing the shell but I tried it and not a single one with the shell removed germinated. And finally, this will seem extreme, I actually try to determine which is the top and bottom of the seed (bottom has a slight point) and plant with point down. This is obvious, but I really want some Moringa trees, and the ones selling in my area that are about 12 inches tall are selling for $25 each, so I'm determined to grow my own. I do hope this helps, but it may be that you got a poor batch. Good luck.

the instructions came with the whole package. I have had trouble finding any information online. And I doubt the company will respond to your question. I bought mine at a garden store. If you bought it at a store maybe they have another one that includes the directions.

It's recommended that you cultivate the soil first, then spread thinly by hand (no need to use a spreader). No top soil or fertilizer either. It will deaden the germination process.

There are no directions. You just have to use trial and error. I ended up using the finest one for tomatoes to keep the seeds out. I also learned that I needed to chop them a bit (I was milling raw tomatoes). Good luck.

Not a single one of the seeds grew for me, I researched how to grow them online. I soaked them in warm water over night before planting then used a covered seed starter and kept it in sunlight indoors for weeks. Dug up a few, not even a root. So assuming you can even get them to grow at all, who knows?

I am trying to do this with my kids as a project.... i have a "beginner" question: After it germinates , do we need to remove the cardboard and replant? or are the roots supposed to push through? we are only doing these in 5-gallon buckets and not in the ground. thank you for your help!

The directions used to be on the back of the container and suggested starting with one tablespoon in water. There is a contact number on their website. You might try calling them to see if they can be more help. http://www.wisdomoftheagesllc.com/index.php?option=com_contact&view=category&catid=0&Itemid=3

Allison, contact Joel immediately. Use only distilled water, not spring water, not tap water and water it in a saucer. Fill it up about 1/3 of the way. That being said, did you check your email? Joel sent a detailed email before our plant arrived. I contacted him a few times and he was extremely helpful and fast to respond. Here's his email address: JoelsCarnivorousPlants - Amazon Marketplace lk5mjrd052j6cyv@marketplace.amazon.com I cut and pasted his directions in the initial email below: I will be shipping your order to you Saturday. Look for it to arrive in your mail beginning this Monday. If you have cold weather forecast for the next few days please be careful to take your order indoors soon after it arrives and not to leave it in a mailbox outside overnight if you receive your mail in a receptacle that is outside so that your plant will not be damaged/killed by frost. If your plants are damaged by frost anyways in spite of my best efforts at timing the shipping for your order please let me know asap. If it is below freezing where you are at your order may come with a heat pack. The heat pack is a white bag with red line on it. This heat pack is not part of the potting soil. Please be careful to NOT mix it in with your moss that your plant arrives with. If you are purchasing this as a gift it will be important to pot it up right after it arrives rather than leaving it in the box it came in for a while. If you purchased more than one plant they may be wrapped together. If you have any problems with your plant(s) or its shipping please feel free to contact me. I'm here to help. If you like what you see when your order arrives you can see more Carnivorous Plants that I have for sale here.--&gt;

I found a little instruction paper hiding inside the outer black plastic container (the one without the dirt inside), don't worry I couldn't find it the first time I bought it either. It's super simple, basically all you have to you is unwrap the dirt medallions, there is a thin mesh around it that is holding it together, and return one to each square. Add a few tablespoons of water to each square and let the dirt soak it up. They recommend waiting about 10 minutes to give the dirt enough time to soak up the water. Once the dirt has absorbed the water and looks like dirt you would find outside, remove a little from the top and put one type of seed in each section and replace the dirt. Hope this helps! =)

I wouldnt be able to give advice. My shipment arrived dead. So I never got the chance to grow.

This list of answers is ridiculous! "Put the reservoir above the plant" "put the reservoir below the plant" - does anybody out there really know how to use these things?!?!?

Unfortunately, I have purchased seeds from various providers and very few of the supply any planting or germinating information. I had to wing it or check online on horticulture sites or you local University. Wish I could have been more help. Personally I am planning on making seed purchases through a Nursery next time. Good luck.

The instructions are located on the side of the box. It will clarify which fertilizers to use during the seed/veg/flowering stage. Hope this helps and Happy growing.
