Plant the seeds so they are just covered with soil mix or peat (don't plant deep), usually three seeds per peat pellet. It seems that three is conserded the number to plant just so you will get at least one that germinates. If all three germinate you will cull two keeping the one looks like the best.
During this germation stage you need to keep your planted seeds in a nice warm area and the planting medium damp. All you need is water at this point do not use a ferilizer the seed does not need it. In a week to ten days you should see signs of life.
Once you get the first leaves you will need lights florecent or florecent grow lights. Keep these lights about 2 inches above your seedlings this keeps them from getting leggy (tall and skinny). Lights on about 16 hours a day.
That is the basics.
Maybe Diana or gardengirl will chime in they do this for a living.
Sounds good, Red. It’s really not hard to grow your own plants if you have the basic equipment. But, it’s an acquired skill; you’ll have successes and losses along the way. I did...and I’ve been doing this for-ever. (Well for about 30 seasons; I’m not as old as dirt. Yet...)
I just love my Newbie Gardener customers. They soooo want to grow Blue Himilayan Poppies in the worst way, LOL! I tell them to start with zinnia and marigold first, maybe some cosmos...and we’ll see how it goes from there, LOL!
I have yet to meet the person that CAN grow a Blue Himilayan Poppy. If you can, speak up because you definitely deserve to pat yourself on the back!!
