Great video and growing tips. I will give that a go. I usually put the seeds into small pots with very fine soil mixed with sand. Keep moist and when small plants form. push the lot out of the small pots and put in larger container for them to grow. Will make a video over the next few days.
Thanks, I have a container garden and my native narrow leaf and showy milkweeds never make it in pots but I didn't think of leaving them in their germination pot..I will try that this time :)
I'm in Mich. If I cold stratify the seeds in the fridge, then germinate in my grow tent, and plant in the garden by late June, I'm hoping they'll come back next yr. Thanks.
I forgot to say that I didn’t have enough soil to fill the mason jar, so mine is filled up to half of the total hight, and has about 15 little plants 🌱
So if im planting from the milk jug out side, how long do you wait before you transplant into the yard? (Raised beds) just keep an eye on them outside and transplant when the container is over crowded?
I wait until the roots start to develop little white knobs on them and then transplant. They will remain happy in the jugs for a long time into early summer, though. I just take the top off once the plants start touching it.
Thank you for the question. I’ve actually found that they will be hardier if I plant more than one. Sometimes there ends up only being one plant that survives in the end, but I tend to have higher success if they begin as a clump of 3-5.
Also - if you initially show wilting of the plant, do not worry. Keep them watered and in sunshine and they will typically snap back with even stronger roots.
I like your videos because your explanation is great. I like when you say “roots.” Lol

Thanks for the great info! Also like how you say "root". 🙂
Thank you Will! My friends make fun of me all the time for that!

Hi Jeff! Before you go through all that, check out my video on jarmination - you’ll get results much quicker!!!
@@Lumberjillgarden Thanks. Yes, going with jarmination.
Rhuts? 🤣 Not a Tenn native! Great videos. 🤪
Nope! Definitely an imposter from Wisconsin!!!
When do you recommend to get rid of the plastic wrap cover, after the seeds hace germinated and each little plant has 2 small leaves?

@@Lumberjillgarden thank you!
Dana, did you see this?
You put 3 seedlings into that peat pot. Are they in danger of crowding each other? Would it have been better to have potted them up individually?

She says ‘stalk’ but means ‘stem’ 😂
I was at a loss for words that day!
@@Lumberjillgarden That's a problem (loss for words) I have every day! Beautifully presented and useful information. Thank you so much!
She also says "rhutts" but means roots. 🤣🤣🤣
