Remove the young leaves at the very top of the stems and any large leaves along the stems. Trim the bottom off stems to the first healthy internode and place in water until 1–2 centimetres (0.39–0.79 in) roots appear below the lowest node and then plant in soil. Expect to harvest around two months later. [12] [13]

In the field of nutrition, the term signifies the practice of germinating seeds (for example, mung beans or sunflower seeds ) to be eaten raw or cooked ...

Seeds and spores can be used for reproduction (e.g. sowing). Seeds are typically produced from sexual reproduction within a species because genetic recombination has occurred. A plant grown from seeds may have different characteristics from its parents. Some species produce seeds that require special conditions to germinate, such as cold treatment.
A soil test may be done to analyze the chemistry of a potting mix, despite the mix not necessarily being made of soil. As an approximation for indoor home planting, the mix is generally treated as greenhouse growth medium. The main method is a saturated media extract (SME), which tests the chemical contents of a water extract of the mix. [13] [15]
