A key to all this we have found over the years is to add a little hydrogen peroxide to your water. A capful of HP poured into a full bottle of water is all you need to assist in your seed germination.
Seed germination can be tricky with certain seeds and it usually is the ones that were expensive. If you have had poor results in the past try this paper towel method and you will see how fast the seeds will germinate!
Pro Tip - if you are still having difficulty after using this method you must question the seed viability. In other words maybe the seeds were not good. The second thing, and we have learned from this mistake, your seeds must go through a cold period. This is called "cold-stratification". This is why you will never have seeds if you purchase from our store that have not gone through this cold period. We store our seeds after they have dried for at least 2-3 weeks. This puts the seeds in to a hard dormancy that is mimicking nature. After that and the temperatures warm up the seed is more likely to germinate aggressively.

Bro i just did this on tuesday and today is Thursday and they are ready to go the roots are sprouting and now its ready to plant thank u so much
Yessir!!! Thanks for sharing... we use this paper towel method all the time :) Since 2008 and counting!!
Learned this in 6th grade science class. I’m now 52. You do the math. It is a great method. Thanks for continuing to educate us!
learned this in 6th grade aswell currently in 9th grade trying to grow weed what strain you got?
Will my plants grow bigger and stronger if I use Brawny paper towels?
yes
🏆😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅
Please just stoooooop
That actually made me laugh out loud! !! Doing this method right now as I'm sitting in my car blazed out watching this video. : )
lol
I use coffee filters/ paper towels on a plate with tap water and in 2 days they are sprouted! Learned it in my high school horticulture classes!
thanks Page! appreciate the feedback
Where did u put theplate? Near the window or no sunlight at all?
What temperature? Were they also placed in a bag like in the video?
Can you help me? Can I grow cantaloupe from seed and if so how? Do I dry them out? Do i plant them right out of the melon? Tyia
Lmao
I tried this with bird seed and I didn't grow any birds.
Seriously though, thanks. Very helpful.

you probably planted them too deep!
This is crazy! I had mediocre luck germinating my seeds in soil, so I tried this method. Some of my seeds germinated in less than 24 hours!
I did this and within 2 and half days I saw my seeds begin to sprout. that's the fastest they've ever sprouted. which the seeds ranged from herbs to vegetables. thank you and I'll be following up on to step 2. thanks again!
Growing a garden for my wife. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
How did it go?
Crazy my 1st grade teacher taught something I would use for the rest of my life shout out to Mrs. Ervin ✊🏽
Good job Mrs. Ervin :)
This works wonderfully! I've used it on lavender, coleus, tomato, hosta, thyme and its worked everytime. Thank you so much! I had many many tell me my seeds were worthless now using peroxide...boy were they wrong!
I understand why this video has more than 3 million views, because this technique WORKS! Now, I couldn't get them to sprout after planting, but at least I got them through step 1: germination. I'll have to keep trying other techniques to get them to sprout. Thanks! 😄
As soon as I thought "why hydrogen peroxide?" you went right into explaining it! Great video, thanks!
SOOOO EXCITED!!! I tried germinated seeds a few different ways and this was the first and best way I got nice roots on my cucumbers, sunflowers and onions so far!! Thank you! Subscribed and watching some more videos! Only thing different was I put the seeds that were in the baggies in the dark cabinet in my kitchen and it took about 4 days
Hah yes….I am also growing….
Cucumbers….
I just use H2O, napkin and baggie. Have gotten great results
Really i just did the same thing
ive always done it that way and worked beautiful every time
If seeds are old the Hydrogen peroxide helps a lot.
Loviu
H2O = water
H2O2 = hydrogen per oxide

thank you! my daughter has this little greenhouse that’s similar to a plastic bag & it didn’t have instructions I couldn’t find it anywhere online. We used them when I was in elementary school so I just dampened a paper towel & put the seeds in there & they’ve sprouted sooo much!
thank you for this! I wasn't sure if chia seeds would grow in a clear tupperware because it's airtight but your video shows they'll grow even in a ziploc bag
to make it easier replace the zip loc bag with any kind of Tupperware. Works great for me, makes a mini greenhouse!
That's very true.... Thanks!
Very simple and easy .... Excellent video. Thank you!
Thanks for getting straight to the point, the only reason we click on a video and for not having all the chit chat jibberish jabber about this & that! 😀
Only method I can successfully germinate curry leaf tree seeds. Thank you for this video!!! Amazing video
Great video! I have been using this technique and it works very well!
How long does it take 🌿
Some seeds need light and some don't. Great video by the way.
This method worked miraculously for my okra seeds with the hard shell that governs it....thanks
I can’t wait to try this. I have some seeds that didn’t take off and want to get them sprouted before attempted to direct sow and guess as to whether they are gonna grow or not. Thanks for the tip!
This is a big help towards healthy eating, thanks.
Ive never seen anyone flexing the number of views in the thumbnail lmfaooo

I did this with beans and worked perfectly! Subscribed.
All the people out here tryin to grow some weed😂🙌
Shhh don't blow our cover!
Red n Blue fed
Shhhhh what the hell brah
Guilty as charged 😎
I'm sure he knew that when he said any type of flower lol
I love this method! Works like a charm!
Hi Teri!! Thanks for commenting, I am with you as well ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ
It would be nice if you show a few days later after you've done this first step .
so we could see how it turns out after the germination begins.
Ty for the video 😊
My teacher had us do that with a red bean and it worked! and it was fun.
Planting seeds - i Learned how to plant seeds correctly , cool!
Very useful, and I can't believe I've only just come across your channel.
Thanks!! Happy Gardening
Just used water as I didn't have peroxide and my rose seeds have sprouted after 2 weeks. Thank you so much 😊
thanks for sharing Rebecca! *(ᵔᴥᵔ)*
Rebecca Johnson i used just water for it to and my seed sprouted the next day

The yorkie Neno what seed did you do?
Rebecca Johnson what kind of seed did you use?
Great video ,very easy to learn , awaysome , :) thank you sir , greetings from Suriname (South - America )
Sir your idea is awsome...without any chemical its works..thank you sir
Hi there, great video - thanks for sharing, Do you need to add water to the paper towel when it dries up? Or is it just the initial water/solution that's needed at the start? Thanks, T
I have been trying to cultivate the seed of sour sop but no success. I will surely try this method. Thank you.
let us know how it works for you Kafayat! Thank you.
Thank you for this helpful tips for germinition.
This method really works thank you its a really usefull tool to use if you are a 1q year old who is really ciriouse
I would think the hydrogen peroxide helps to prevent fungus on the seeds from forming. When growing seedlings, you can spray a diluted solution on the soil if fungus starts to grow.
Great feedback, Thanks for sharing D.
I have been germinating seed by using the paper towel method without the hydrogen peroxide and I roll the towel up and place in a zip loc bag. Good results on almost any kind of seed. Leave bag out of direct sun but leave it in light.
thanks for sharing John
Yeah, that makes sense. Remember, sunlight breaks down hydrogen peroxide!
You don't need light. Just heat.
Heard lights are bad for the roots, and if the point is to germinate and form a tap"root" maybe keeping it in the dark is best bet. Never gave light and never had any issues
@@B01 He said light to the seeds not when it is rooting. I guess he didn't add that part.
So excited to see what's to happen the next few days with these hyacinth seeds! hopefully it works :)
THANK YOU for explaining the importance of the hydrogen peroxide. I watched a lot of videos and NO ONE explained. Your awesome!
+Asha Maughn Aww shucks! Thanks Asha!! Have a blessed day
I'm a total newbie, and I planted radishes about 2 weeks ago. I planted the seeds directly into the soil. Two of the 10 seedlings suffered from damping-off. I want to try your germination method next time. How long after doing this do you plant the seedlings? Do you go straight to soil after this?
sure! Just be careful as direct sun can burn up a seedling quick...I like to keep them in pots for a period of time. Then acclimate to the outdoors.
Yes
I use this method for all of my seeds! I have had no luck with starting in soil and with this method I've had seeds germinate (with leaves!) In under a week. It's great, I'd highly recommend this method
Bro I did this before the video unfortunately I have the same issue as you it never makes it once I move it to soil gotta be super gentle
@@jtkaldk6832 yeah. Also right now I have zucchinis with flowers that I used the paper towel method for. And I've found for flowers soil works better. I recommend getting those coir soil pod things because they hold moisture better which is what seeds like. And for me my seeds die when I don't water them in the morning, it's weird but it works
Thank you Papa! June and I am just starting pole beans.. Will use this method to get quick germination... Peace and Long Life... *\V/* Vulcan Hi-Five....
Still to this day I’m looking for deer park water.
LOL
I feel like i'm the only person who ever wants to know "why" when someone presents how something is done, and i get disappointed when its not there. Was sad when he said, "Hydrogen Peroxide helps to speed up the germination process--" but wasn't followed up with a "why/how" or what it does exactly. Information like that allows you to decide necessity, or just how things work in general. There has to be a reason to the ratio. How much is too much? What does it do to the seeds? Like what if the only reason its there is because it makes the paper-towel sparkly white. How are we supposed to know.
Does anyone happen to know WHY/HOW this "helps with the germination process"? What happens.
Hollis Blackwood it helps germination because it prevents fungus which slows down the germination or kills the seed. But hydrogen peroxide is not necessary for the seeds. I just use regular clean water.
also adds o2 but idk if extra is needed
do you you use filtered water? I get mine from a well. In the city they add bleach and H2Flo (fluoride) Distilled water of filtered water is best if you get your water from the city.
I assumed it was because of the extra hydrogen ions that the seed could use.. hydrogen is used to make ATP or energy so...
There are certain types of bacteria on the seed that help the roots grow by having Hydrogen Peroxide for their ATP process.
love it, its april 5th and here in Pa still a little chilly out, so I'm gonna give this method a try and start some inside cant wait to try it on the oriental poppies which anyone knows how small they are and how hard it is to get them to sprout! hope this works thank you!
Look forward to try this 😊
Thanks..my grand kids sent me bamboo seeds..I will start them today..I'll be LUCKY I am sure..smiles{{{{{{{{
great! Let me know how that works out.
I will.
now the deer ( i think) or something...:( ate my grand children's corn up...SIGhhh..`--`......
I always do this method I dnt like thinning seedlings it hurts my heart
Thank you for the video
Great video..I’m gonna try it out ,subscribed!👍
I put two seeds on a very little damp paper towel, evenly spaced apart in a ziplock bag 4 days later no sprouting, but red mold instead. Wasn't too warm in my house between 70 and 75 degrees. Not sure what the problem is, help would be most appreciated.
Was it humid enough?
thanks bro, I'm actually gonna grow some weed. just a plant for personal use or maybe like 3. I'm learning about all this and its highly interesting, no pun intended hehe. I'll let you know how the germination goes with those seeds. thank you dude :)
very good. keep us posted!
Probably like half of his views are for the same reason lol!
hey man they turned out beautifully idk how to show you pics of the germination
how long did it take for your seeds to root..?
Lmao me too
Great job, thank you.
I finially found someone to explain how to do the wet paper towl trick. A lot easier to understand too that he isn't a stoner lol. Now i can grow some pot seeds. Lets do this!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This comment made my year!
how much days that seed need to keep in that paper.

Thank you . My bean seeds did not germinate so I am going to try this process. I hope it will succeed.
I'm pretty dang surprised I did this with carnation seeds it's been 3 days one has a small root poking out.
Thanks for the video, I will try this method out soon. And can I skip the Hydrogen Peroxide?
+M Ling Wang sure! let us know how it goes
It's only been 3 days and all of the smaller seeds have started to sprout so yeah it worked just as fine. The broad beans seem to take longer as they have not changed yet. I'm a preschool teacher and just did this experiment with the kids in my class, they are quite amused.
That is really cool. Thanks for sharing! Appreciate your feedback!!
I am going to try it out, it looks to good to be true
Quarantine tingz
unfortunately I don't always have a luck to plant it's all because the soil I got all plants won't grow, only weeds or else I have to do some special treatment. But I have plants in pots with miracle grow and potting soil. I am thinking to give up planting because not all my plants won't grow even with stuff I put it, it's hopeless. But you tips giving me a hope to plant again :-) in this way I can transfer it to the pots and I will have plants again... thank you. By the way, why it needs peroxide? is it necessary? anyway thank you, Sir!
not everything needs the Hydrogen Peroxide...it just helps germination. Its just an additive to help promote a seed to sprout. Soil can be tricky, we still have issues with certain plants and getting the soil piece just right. We have been growing plants for 20 years now...it takes some TLC sometimes. Happy Gardening!!
Keep the medium moist during germination and at the reccommended temp and you should be able to grow anything. Don't quit. I love growing things.
Hydroponics!!!
If I mix hydrogen peroxide with water and spray it on my newly planted grass seed will it help the grass grow any faster?

yea i dont know. .but i have the same question.
joseph arthur no it's just for the germination.
Thank you.
I grow sunflowers and cannabis i never germinated apple seeds before so thanks for your help
Is this good for blackberry seeds too?
I would say yes! never tried blackberries though...can you let me know how it works please! happy gardening!!
why are you using peroxide in the water?
helps germination.
thank u
Low strength peroxide is a pretty effective fungicide, and fungi are among the main killers of germinating seed.
If you're wanting to use bleach (and be sure to water it down heavily) as a fungicide, it'll certainly do the job. What harmful effect it has on the germinating seed I don't know. Maybe you could trial it on a few seeds to find out.
I'm using some percarbonate myself on some bean seeds I'm germinating right now, which I understand produces peroxide when dissolved in water, and then breaks down into washing soda solution. I have percarbonate on hand because I make home brew, and it's commonly used for sterilising equipment, and doesn't need to be washed off afterward, because it has no ill effect on brewing beer. (I use diluted bleach on my homebrewing equipment to do a thorough sterilising job, and then use percarbonate solution afterward to rinse the bleach off).
Did it work Mr. Goodkat? I'm late with my seeds but what the hell!
Thank you! 😊
Welcome Felicia!!
I just came back after watching just to thanks you. I did this and my seeds sprouted in just 1 day! The peroxide is a great tip my last atempt before knowing this ended in roten seeds but now i succeded thanks
wow! that is awesome. Glad i could help you out on growing your seeds

Can’t you just plant the paper towel in the soil when you see the seeds sprouting?
Yes, but you’d want to take the top off so they can grow up without hindrance. If multiple seeds, though, you won’t have enough space between the plants for each to grow fully.
Gently scratch the edge or end of the seed on fine sandpaper.
I may try this cause its cool
Does this work with watermelon seeds?
+sandra666 very well on watermelon!! thanks Sandra

Wet the paper towel first.
How come?
@@loerkue I made mine wet first on some, just because I wanted to limit the movement of the seeds and the water seemed to help.
@@UwGDonaramu thx ;-)
@@UwGDonaramu don't the seeds get rotten?
@@votaconunclick8477 They can. There are a few tricks to help hinder the chance.
Very well explained

I am going to give this a try. I have been doing the same, but with water only. Best wishes Bob.
+Bob Lt (BobMel's Gardening) Let me know if you get better results. The picture is of 5 Lemon seedlings sprouted from the first Lemon Tree Video I did. 5/5 sprouted even the little one that I thought wasn't viable. Take care
+Bob Lt (BobMel's Gardening)
Hey Bob, I wanted to start growing watermelons. Can the seeds from a store brought watermelon produce fruit? or should I buy seeds?
I have done it both ways. Store bought will let you select the variety you want and perhaps give better germination. Best wishes Bob.

What percentage of hydrogen peroxide is needed ?
+Patrick Bouwer 3%
Very helpful thx
great tech
I thought the peroxide helps so it doesn't mold
It works for 15 minutes, after that it releases all those extra O atoms into the air.
:\ ok
yes it helps to kill fungus spores dormant ones
@@mukunda3001 can isopropyl alcohol do the same thing?
Dont fold the paper towel over the seeds. Use another paper towel. This makes it easier to peel it back to get to the seeds when they sprout. Also, use a sandwich container with a lid instead of a bag. Makes access all so much easier and the risk of injuring a taproot is lessened.
Love it
thanks Hilde!
Thank You so much can wait for the next vidio
thank you
Dacio & Blanca Alegria I can wait too.
why is the hydrogen peroxide needed? It's not like the seeds are going to find this naturally.
+Chris Davies I agree, that is why you have something called "Natural Selection" However, we are trying to avoid natural selection by getting all of our seeds to germinate. HP has helped me sprout hard to grow seeds and increase my germination percentage for the last 15+ years. Happy Gardening!
ok, thanks for the reply :)
It creates CO2... Baking soda and vinegar do the same thing. 😑
@@tokerjonezin5205 no it doesn't. 2H2O2->2H2O+O2, basic chemistry. It is an oxidizer and helps kill off harmful contaminates like fungi and bacteria, just like it does when applied topically onto wounds. Of course the reaction with other molecules is going to be different and more complicated, but saying that a compound make of purely hydrogen and oxygen produces a compound with carbon is absurd and ignorant.
@@mygardenchannel Wow, you just open my mind about all those plants we buy at Walmart mass-produced; I always wondered why they do not last that long. Possibly because they do the same thing. One TH-camr called the Walmart plants Drug Addicts. Because it is true. Lol. Keeping them alive would feed them all this stuff to keep fungus from attacking it because the plant itself can not defend itself. Natural selection. I have two Herb plants that have survived for 4 years now out of the 16 I have bought from a store that was on sale. The rest died. Thanks for clarifying the process. Will these seedlings that become plants become strong and defend themselves from the elements without my intervention?
