Description: Germinating dahlia seeds using the wet paper towel method is a simple and effective way to start your seeds. Here's a step-by-step guide:Materials Needed:Dahlia seedsPaper towelsZiplock bags or plastic containersWaterLabels (optional)Steps: Prepare the Paper Towels:Dampen a few paper towels with water. The paper towels should be moist but not soaking wet. Excess water can be gently squeezed out. Place the Seeds:Lay the damp paper towel flat and place the dahlia seeds on one half of the towel. Make sure the seeds are spaced apart so they have room to germinate. Fold the Paper Towel:Fold the paper towel over the seeds, covering them completely. You can also roll the paper towel if it makes it easier to fit into the bag or container. Insert into a Bag or Container:Place the folded or rolled paper towel with the seeds into a ziplock bag or a plastic container. Seal the bag or close the container to retain moisture. Label and Store:Label the bag or container with the date and type of seeds for reference.Store the bag or container in a warm location with temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C). A warm, dark place like the top of a refrigerator or a warm windowsill can work well. Check for Germination:After a few days, start checking the seeds daily for signs of germination. Dahlia seeds typically take 5-10 days to germinate, but this can vary. Transplant the Germinated Seeds:Once the seeds have sprouted and you see small roots and shoots, they are ready to be transplanted.Carefully remove the germinated seeds from the paper towel. Be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate roots. Plant the Sprouts:Fill seed trays or small pots with seed-starting mix or light potting soil.Make a small hole in the soil with a pencil or your finger and gently place the sprouted seed into the hole. Cover the roots with soil, leaving the shoot exposed.Water the soil lightly to settle it around the roots. Provide Light and Care:Place the pots or trays in a location with bright, indirect light. If natural light is insufficient, use grow lights to provide 12-16 hours of light per day.Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Transplant to the Garden:Once the seedlings have grown a few sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the garden.Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before planting them in the garden.
