Where to Get the Best Indoor Houseplant Seeds
Indoor houseplant seeds do not store well and should be used immediately. They lack dormancy since they originate from temperate regions and thus germinate rapidly in optimal conditions with no need for chilling.
Best Houseplants to Start from Seeds
The best indoor plant seeds to grow are also the easiest houseplants to grow. If you have a cat, cat grass is an easy houseplant to grow from seed. Cactus, living stone, peace lily, African violet, English ivy, Asparagus fern, gloxinia, coleus, and many herbs are all easy to care for houseplants you can grow from seeds.
How to Start Indoor Houseplant Seeds
Growing houseplants from seed is not a speedy project. Although germination times vary depending upon the cultivar, it will take anywhere from 2-12 weeks for the seed to germinate. Thereafter it may take a year or longer for the plant to fully mature. Fill a container with drainage hole with lightweight soilless medium. Water the medium, allowing the excess to drain out the hole. Plant seeds in the container and very lightly cover with medium. Sow the seeds three times deeper than their diameter. Many indoor houseplant seeds are so tiny they don’t really even need to be covered. Keep the soil moist with a spray bottle. Place the container in a warm area out of direct sun.
