Part 2: The Germination Setup 🦋🌱
Following up on my last post! After letting my butterfly pea seeds soak for over 24 hours to help break their dormancy, it’s time to get them ready for germination when I took them out of soaking they looked a little plumped. Here is how I’ve set them up: • The Nest:🪹 I placed the soaked seeds onto a damp paper towel. Pro-tip: Make sure the towel is moist but not dripping wet you want them hydrated, not swimming! • The Enclosure: I carefully tucked the seeds inside the damp towel, folded it, and placed it into a Ziploc bag. This creates a little mini-greenhouse to maintain humidity. • The "Dark Room": Finally, I’ve placed the sealed bag inside a dark Tupperware container. Keeping them in the dark helps mimic the environment of being tucked safely underground. Now, the waiting game begins! I'll be checking on them regularly to ensure they stay moist and watch for that first sign of a root emerging. Anybody else going to try this ? I know it’s a long process but fingers crossed 🤞for good results !!
