To start seeds successfully, begin by selecting a high-quality seed-starting mix and filling sterile containers with it. Plant seeds at the depth recommended on the packet, usually 2-3 times their thickness. Water gently but thoroughly to ensure good seed-to-soil contact, then cover trays with a humidity dome or plastic wrap to maintain moisture.
Place in a warm location (70-85°F) until germination occurs, then move to a bright area with 12-16 hours of light daily. Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy, and thin seedlings once they develop true leaves to prevent overcrowding. Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting outdoors.
