Providing the optimum environment can decrease germination time, improve uniformity and increase the number of seeds or cuttings that germinate.
Critical factors for germination include moisture, oxygen, temperature and light.
Seeds from the packet are at 4 – 12% moisture content. To germinate this needs to be increased to 25 to 50%. Select a growing media like rockwool cubes that has good water holding capacity, adequate drainage and allows good contact with the seed is important.
Temperature is also important, testing by several universities has found that each species has a range of temperature that is best for germination. For some such as Marigolds, almost complete germination will take place at any temperature between 10°C and 30°C. Others have a much narrower range, such as Freesia that germinates only between 12°C and 18°C
Light requirements vary with the species, with cuttings light is always required. With seeds once germinated adequate light is required to prevent stretching. With LED lights now becoming very popular for germination and propagation.
