How wet should seed pods be?
For seeds to germinate, you need to keep the growing soil damp but not too wet. Many seed starters cover the container to keep soil moist until seeds germinate. Once seeds sprout, don't miss a watering. Unlike established plants, seedlings don't have an extensive root system they can rely on for vital moisture.
How do you know if seeds are rotting?
Water test: Take your seeds and put them in a container of water. Let them sit for about 15 minutes. Then if the seeds sink, they are still viable; if they float, they most likely will not sprout. This method, in my opinion, is not the best way to check your seeds.
How long do seed pods last?
Seed pods last about 6 months. Keep in mind that veggies have the longest expected life span. The next on the line are flowers, followed by salad greens and herbs on the last place. You can extend the life span of your plant with the right care.
How do you dry seed pods?
Flower seed heads may seem dry when you take them from your plants on a sunny day, but if you put them straight into a plastic bag you'll find them glued together with mould a few weeks later. The best way to dry seeds is to spread them out so the air can get at each one, and let them naturally dry in the open.
Can soil be too wet for seeds?

Will 20 year old seeds grow?
There is a good chance that those old seed packets will have a high percentage of seeds that will germinate just fine. Most seeds, though not all, will keep for at least three years while maintaining a decent percentage of germination. And even a group of very old seeds may have 10 or 20 percent that still sprouts.
Why did my seeds turn to mush?
Wet Conditions
Seed germination often begins in a small garden flat. The germination process requires a moist growing environment. However, overly wet growing medium can result in rotted seeds. ... If you do not remove the plastic or top from the seed flat, germinated seeds will rot quickly from excessive moisture.
Can you use Click and grow without the pods?
Many people experiment with their own seeds and soil, some with success. I'm sure that in the case they stopped producing pods you could still use the garden with your own soil. Yes, plants that grow too big for the garden can be planted elsewhere. But agree with you.
Can I reuse click and grow pods?
