hello everyone welcome to my video today
I'm going to show you guys the paper
towel method I like to use this method
in conjunction with the perlite method
but the paper towel method for me I
prefer this when I'm working with
smaller seeds it'll work with any type
of C to work with you know your fruits
your flowers whatever today I'm going to
try to sprout some Japanese pink kochiya
grass so you can see how small these
seeds are just makes it easier to work
with keeps all the seeds on the paper
towel so when they do sprout it's easy
to pluck those off the paper towel there
alright let's go through some of the
items that we're going to need for today
we're going to be a bottle of water some
topical hydrogen peroxide you can find
any drugstore you're going to need a
ziploc bag marker pen of course the
paper towel in your seed of choice and
make sure that you're going to label
make sure you label your ziploc bag with
the date and the type of seed that
you're working with there alright let's
get right into it
first you're going to do is open your
bottle of water you're going to dump out
a little bit of the top there
okay and then what we're going to do is
we're going to take our hydrogen
peroxide here we're going to fill the
cap
to fill that up
slowly okay there it is and then you're
just going to take this cat full and
you're going to dump it right into the
bottle of water there and then you've
got your solution how does your peroxide
helps to speed up the germination
process also increases your germination
percentage by using it and then I like
to mark my bottle of water so I don't
drink it go
alright so our solution set and time now
to get the seeds in place here so
everybody you guys want to put on your
paper towel go ahead and do that now
these things like to scatter everywhere
there were little tiny guys if you guys
have never seen Japanese kochiya grass
go ahead and check the videos up on my
channel I've got three videos on that
and it's a really cool plant turns pink
in the fall easy to grow love it so I'm
going to do next is this kind of fold my
paper towel into fours here
okay just like that and then I'm going
to take my solution could get a little
messy here but I'm just going to dampen
this paper towel don't need a whole lot
of water here just as long as it gets
wet all the way through and then we're
going to fold it one more time
making sure that our seeds are all wet
in there okay see the seeds inside there
and all we're going to do is going to
place it in our bag to start your seeds
you really don't need a sunny location
but it always helps to get a little bit
of Sun on these seeds every day and
within the next couple days these guys
are going to start to sprout so it
doesn't need direct sunlight you can put
it on the countertop where you have in
direct sunlight maybe a light room that
doesn't necessarily have sunlight
dropping onto these seeds it works fine
so just to get them to sprout that works
fine after they sprout it's a different
story but you do not need direct
sunlight temperature you know just keep
in mind whatever seed you're growing you
know go with the the seed companies
recommendations on the temperature and
you should be just fine there so hope
