Do I have to soak it in the water before planting in soil? if so how long should i soak them? Do i wait until they germinate?

No soaking required. Marigolds are super easy to grow from seed. Just push the black pointed end of the seed straight into damp soil cover up w/ about 1/8 " of soil. Add water and they will sprout in about a week or faster if it is warmer out. You can get seeds from the dried flowers later in the year.

I put mine in a pretty ash tray with some moss. Spray it every morning with water, placed under a table lamp and it now has two "babies". Seems free air is the key here.Live in Reno, NV were the air is very dry thus the spritzing every day. I do not give mine the soaking as instructed as they rot especially in the pretty round hanging terrariums. This is my fourth try with this type plantand ONLY success.

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 )

you can just broadcast the seed wherever you want and water it in(lightly) if it rains before it germinates it will wash to low spots.lightly raking over it will place a small amount of dirt over the seed helping it to stay in place.

In my experience . I don't even start to see the beginning of nubs of roots until 10 to 14 days...I usually wait until the roots hit the water which is around 3 weeks... that way the roots are nice and healthy.. before there transplant.... oh and make sure your ph is optimal for growing... I hope I helped... please write back if you need anymore advice.. I will answer anything to the best of my knowledge....: )

Seeds are too small to put in water. Someone suggested you put them in the freeze for a couple of days first to stimulate germination. Then you seed them directly in soil with very thin amount on top, but have to be very careful about keeping moisted. Germination takes very long, about 2-3 weeks. Good Luck.

I would start them germinating in December or January. They have about a 120 day cycle from being planted in the garden to bearing fruit. I live in Portland, Oregon so that means getting them ahead of schedule as soon as possible. They don't like cold weather at all. Keep them inside after they germinate. You can sprout them in peat pots and then transplant them into the garden once it gets over 65 degrees at night consistently.

I germinated mine on a damp, almost we paper towel on a shelf in my southern facing window. As soon as they sprouted, I planted them in small pots. When they were about 6" tall and branched out, I placed them in my garden outside. I am in northern Maine, zone 5, so hoping they will make it through the winter. I have read that they will survive in zone 5, but I've also heard that they won't. Springtime will tell. Hope this helps.

I ph my water and soak it in it till it fattens all the way up. Then i squeeze it gently and let it absorb it again. I do that a few times before u put the seedling in two seeds dept.

I have never tried to germinate them. I bought this to use as a side dish and to grind into Teff flour. If you have some kelp powder but 1 tablespoon of the teff grain into a glass quart jar with 1/2 teaspoon of the kelp powder. Cover with good water-spring is great & even distilled but no chlorinated water. The next day, drain it through a sieve with tiny holes so not to loose the grain. Put this soaked mixture into a sprouter. Follow the directions for the sprouter. Usually it is necessary to rinse the seeds at least once a day. Once/IF you see the grain open with a tiny sprout within a couple of days, you have your answer. RETURN & REPORT.

You need to grow them in the dark until the last day. Then for 1 day you need to put it in the sun to turn them green & then put the in the fridge to keep them fresh.If you have absolutely no sun then cover them & put it in your car where it can get sun for the 1 day....careful not to spill the water....

No no need until they germinate. Just don't let them dry that's all. Keep spraying them once germinated.Basically keep them moist.

All I did was stick the stock in the dirt, but instead of planting in the ground I instead use a small plants pot and plant the stock in it, once it matures than I will transfer into a bigger pot. I use a moisture soil and water twice a week, it works for me, I can see little sprouts coming out from the top. Hope this helps...Fyi I'm not an experts., just someone who loves flowers:)

I soak the cube in water *before* I put the seeds/cuttings inside. Seedlings need to be constantly wet while they germinate so keeping the cube in a small bowl if your best bet. Fill it up from the side though, not over top of the cube or you're seeds will just float away again.Also if I'm planting seeds I'll drop the seed it, push it in some with a pen, then pinch the hole closed a little. It don't have to be perfectly shut, it's more to just make sure the seed stays in place.

First you have to soak the seeds in water (at least 4 hours to 8 hours depending on the size of the seed) for 1-2 tbsp. of seeds. Then you rinse and place them into a tray. Put the solid tray on bottom and add 1/8 to 1/4 cup of water 3-4 times a day. Don't let them dry out. They don't have to be placed in the sun but it helps, or under flor. light. Darin water out of bottom once a day. When sprouts are ready(4-5 days) they need rinsed and the hulls need to be discarded (they are bitter). Dry as much as much as possible and store in container or veggie bag in frig. enjoy

The seeds look like beans but the vine isn't very bean like. It's a prolific bloomer until frost. Soaking seeds overnight before planting will speed up germination but don't soak longer than overnight or the seeds get mushy and fewer will germinate (voice of experience here)

If these are the cuttings you water them after you root them, if they are plants then soak them thoroughly when they arrive then every 10 days or when thy dry out. Hope this helps. :)
