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!
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
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!
@@rishikumarshuklad-2418 yes I've just heard of the peroxide gonna give it a go though my seeds usally germinate in 24 to 48 hours without it can't wait to see if it speeds it up though
I looked online to see how long pumpkins take to grow it said 7-10 days they sprouted in 4 and now I need help with transplanting them without too much stress I tried but the one I did is droopy will it come back? I have 10 pumpkins not anticipating them all to sprout all now I have 10 pumpkins. Can you help me?
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! 😄
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
@@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 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
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!
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!
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! 😀
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!
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....
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 😊
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.
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
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
They work well! I wet my paper towel throw in the seeds and same, put in ziplock bag and wait a week and viola it’s sprouting nicely. Now, I don’t know what to do with them yet, that leads me to watch you tube to find the best way to do after germination. Do I plant it in big pot so I don’t have to transfer later on?
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.
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.
Glad you marked it. I put hydrogen peroxide in water bottle to rinse my mouth. And one day I woke up out my sleep and was thirsty and drunk a mouth full, but OfCourse I put way more peroxide for the mouth rinse. Luckily I was fine.
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?
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.
I have reptile egg incubator. Inside it i germinate my seeds with paper towel method on top of 2 plates each side. Very much worth it from the ammount i paid for my seeds. On your video i think you need to open the ziplock more, you just need moisture and humidity to germinate seeds
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
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.
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.
When I was younger I tried to grow a canabis plant and used this trick without the hydrogen peroxyde. It worked quite fast. I'm now trying to do it with a few bhut jolokia seeds and nothing happened in a week. I've started again from scratch and added some peroxyde. I hope it will work :/
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 :)
I kept many seeds moist with paper towel inside a clear plastic bin. I spray them with water like every two days. With my store bought gladiolus bulbs, I submerged them in water for about 10 minutes or so before planting them. Afterwards, I spray them water every morning. By the following week, I can see results. Is water that activates the seeds!
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!
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.
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!!
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).
I was cutting up a chilli 🌶 from the supermarket it had loads of seeds so I thought I would have a go at this method, I just used ordinary water 💦 and to my total amazement it worked, mine had no sunlight because I put them in the airing cupboard, you don’t need any fancy equipment just a paper towel, water, seeds (obviously) and a zip lock bag, cheap as chips and very efficient. 😀 oh by the way it took about a week!
oh i put it between the wet tissue and kept it inside container, now they have germinated white colour looks like white warms. It defiantly works because dates grows in the hot countries and keeping them inside container helps them stay warm and grow back
Can you germinate seed with the method shown and when the seeds sprout, plant them in your garden outside? assuming it is warm enough outside, not freezing? Will the seedlings die from the shock?
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.
Thanks! like your accent! Loved your video because you didn't just show how to germinate, but also the progress over a Timeline. of 6 months review.. Thank you! can you please show how to germinate green chilli.. not the capsicum kind .. but the Pakistani green chilli, which is really sharp!
I was using paper towels then I went to gauze pads soak put gauze in soil cover water and I have better percentage in germination but that's what I prefer
+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!
@@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 RUclipsr 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?
Use this method but also be sure to put them somewhere warm, I put mine under the clothes dryer or on top with the sandwich bag wrapped in dark paper, always by next day all seeds will germinate 💯 💯
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

There are certain types of bacteria on the seed that help the roots grow by having Hydrogen Peroxide for their ATP process.

Low strength peroxide is a pretty effective fungicide, and fungi are among the main killers of germinating seed.

Can you germinate seed with the method shown and when the seeds sprout, plant them in your garden outside? assuming it is warm enough outside, not freezing? Will the seedlings die from the shock?
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!!
Very well explained
Thank you for that and checking in!!
Gently scratch the edge or end of the seed on fine sandpaper.
Thanks! like your accent! Loved your video because you didn't just show how to germinate, but also the progress over a Timeline. of 6 months review..
Thank you!
can you please show how to germinate green chilli.. not the capsicum kind .. but the Pakistani green chilli, which is really sharp!
you dont need hp if you leave bag open...
Thanks, I wasn't thinking I needed it
If you leave the bag open, you might get mold!

I was using paper towels then I went to gauze pads soak put gauze in soil cover water and I have better percentage in germination but that's what I prefer
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 RUclipsr 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?
Use this method but also be sure to put them somewhere warm, I put mine under the clothes dryer or on top with the sandwich bag wrapped in dark paper, always by next day all seeds will germinate 💯 💯
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!!
7 years later watching this in 2023!
What percentage of hydrogen peroxide is needed ?
+Patrick Bouwer 3%
I am going to try it out, it looks to good to be true
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?
Thank you! 😊
