After germination, transport plants to an area with a temperature of 60–70 °F (16–21 °C). Keep under light for at least 12 hours a day. Plant seeds 6 inches (15 centimetres) apart to prevent crowding. Remove deceased plants to promote growth for newly planted ones.
These plants tend to propagate in this manner anyway, and potting a new limb will give extra plants without having to sow new seed. Simple layering can also help when a plant has overgrown its pot and is drooping over the side. The long stem is layered into another pot until it roots, thus bringing it back to soil level. [6]
Hypogeal germination (from Ancient Greek ὑπόγειος [hupógeios] 'below ground', from ὑπό [hupó] 'below' and γῆ [gê] 'earth, ground') is a botanical term indicating that the germination of a plant takes place below the ground. An example of a plant with hypogeal germination is the pea (Pisum sativum
The seedlings of some flowering plants have no cotyledons at all. These are said to be acotyledons. The plumule is the part of a seed embryo that develops into the shoot bearing the first true leaves of a plant. In most seeds, for example the sunflower, the plumule is a small conical structure without any leaf structure. Growth of the plumule ...

Germination is usually the growth of a plant contained within a seed resulting in the formation of the seedling.
Rhizoctonia solani root rot on corn roots, magnified 0.63X. Damping off can be prevented or controlled in several different ways. Sowing seeds in a sterilized growing medium can be effective, although fungal spores may still be introduced to the medium, either on the seeds themselves or after sowing (in water or on the wind).
In botany, a seed is described as showing hypogeal germination when the cotyledons of the germinating seed remain non-photosynthetic, inside the seed shell, and below ground. [2] The converse, where the cotyledons expand, throw off the seed shell and become photosynthetic above the ground, is epigeal germination .
The most telltale symptom of Bakanae is the tall, spindly look of the plant. This is a result of the gibberellins, or growth hormones, the fungus secretes. [ 2 ] Infected plants are easy to pick out, then, as they often rise above the rest of the healthy plants with regularly secreted growth hormones.
