If the seeds are boiled in hot water and the material inside is destroyed, it is generally said that they have died, let alone germinated again. If you want the seeds to germinate, you can sun and select them first, and then soak the selected seeds in warm water and then in clear water. After that, soak the paper towel to promote germination.

One, the reason that cannot germinate

After the water is boiled, the temperature can reach 100 degrees. If the seeds are boiled with hot water, the biological cells inside will be scalded and destroyed. Generally speaking, they have died, let alone germinated, and they will have no vitality.

Second, the method of germination

1. Seed drying: before germination, in order to improve the survival rate, it can be done for a while. Time to choose 2 to 3 days ago, choose a sunny day with good sunshine, spread the seeds outside for drying, be sure to thin them, and turn them frequently in the process, so that they will be more evenly dried.

2. Seed selection: pick out some seeds with poor growth and development, leaving high-quality seeds, which look plump and full.

3. Seed soaking: soak the selected seeds in warm water of 50 to 55 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes, then soak them in water for 2 to 3 days, and change water every 4 to 5 hours.

4. Sprouting: find a sealed container, soak the paper towel and lay it on the bottom, then spread the seeds evenly on the paper towel, cover it and put it in a cool place, and sprout in a few days.
