Growing Apple Saplings from Scraps: A Cost-Free Journey in 10 Days

Seed Germination: Awaiting the Miracle

Procure a plastic or glass container with an airtight seal. Line the interior with a white cloth napkin, then place the seeds inside. Seal the napkin, and using a spray bottle, lightly mist water over it. The napkin should be damp, not saturated. Seal the container and let it bask in sunlight for 10 days (avoid direct sunlight exposure).

After this period, open the container and inspect the seeds for signs of germination. Vigilance is crucial to prevent mold formation. Now, it’s time to plant the germinated seeds while leaving any ungerminated ones in the container. Obtain a 10 cm diameter pot and fill it with peat soil. If unavailable, high-quality, soft, and well-draining universal soil will suffice.
