I purchased the kit of 8 seed varieties, which included the wood soil stakes. I used my own seed-starting soil from Miracle-Grow. I also picked up a heat mat and a plastic seed kit with 72 pods, a deep tray, and a clear lid. I already have a small vinyl indoor greenhouse that currently houses my indoor tropical Bonsai trees. I also have several full-spectrum grow lights in there. Just wanted to set the stage with my set-up.
Now as for the seed kit. It came with 8 species of seeds, each packet containing more seeds than they were supposed to. So I started by planting 4 to 6 of each for now. I followed the pre-sowing instructions as directed for the 24 to 48 hours required for each. Planted seeds as directed into pre-moistened soil,(much easier to fill those little seed starter cups), and covered the tray with the clear plastic lid. The heat mat I used was just a one-temperature type, not one super expensive that you can adjust the temperature. I found that since my greenhouse was already being kept on the humid side, the soil stayed moist and the mat seemed to work.
I had the first sprout from a Siberian Elm after 4 days! That seed pack said 30 days for germination. On the 5th day, three more species began to emerge. All way ahead of the listed times. I could not be more pleased at this early stage
