The general rule is to cover seeds with soil equal to three times their thickness, but make sure to read instructions on the seed packet before planting the plant. Some seeds, including certain lettuces and snapdragons, need light to sprout and should rest on the soil surface but still be in good contact with moist soil. But, in the seed packet you may find the exact rules to follow before and after planting the seeds.

5. Water Regularly

8. Control Light and Air

Most of the seeds will grow at around 78°F temperature. And, after germination, air temperature should be slightly below 70°F. Seedlings can withstand air temperature as low as 50°F as long as soil temperature remains 65-70°F. But the temperature is not the same for every plant. Like season and soil, it also differs. Know about the heat that the plants need and also about the air, then according to it keep them in sunlight or half shed.

9. Make Greenhouse

Warmth and humidity promote plants to grow well. Plants need moisture, and light to grow. A greenhouse stabilizes the growth by safeguarding the ambient temperature and protect the plants from cold.
