No seeds will grow

Deltagardener on Jun 15, 2016It could be damping off which can happen is the soil is over watered. Plant your seeds using a seed starter mix so you know there isn't any fungal diseases or pests in it. If they are dying off its most likely damping off, if they are falling over perhaps they need more light.Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Jun 15, 2016It actually appears it is the soil. I would try again in a pot and soil recommended for seed starting. If you have success then speak to a reputable garden professional in your location to help you get the necessary amendments.Helpful Reply

Rodrigo Sebidos on Jun 16, 2016It could be caused by a disease or insects(eg. grubs) destroying or eating your bulbs or seedlings. Try to sow them first in seedboxes or pots, then 7 days after emergence transplant them in the intended plots. Before transplanting,​ cultivate the soil to expose the pathogens and soil dwelling insects under the heat of the sun. Incorporate organic fertilizers in the soil before transplanting. Sprinkle enough water every day until fully recovered, don't flood. You can place a cover on top of the seedlings using local materials like banana stalks in a triangle fashion until fully recovered.Helpful Reply

Johnchip on Jun 16, 2016Your light is too indirect, you need more overhead light and less water so the stem can grow upright and strengthen/harden. Your first sprouting will always be a bit spindly, so maybe keep them in a tighter container . You may also pinch back the first couple greens if you have at least three new ones below that are growing more leaves per bud stem.Helpful Reply

DORLIS on Jun 16, 2016I agree with this, a combination of too much water and not enough sun.Helpful Reply

Johnchip on Jun 18, 2016Well, I moved from Mid Atlantic US where I had wonderful rose gardens, butterfly bush, forsythia, chinese lanterns, cherry tomatoes, seasonal colorful flowers, so many wonderful plants. I now am in the tropics and have had to learn to look at what is 'native' as it obviously 'belongs' here more than my former tastes. Even when I bought plants in the US, I they did not 'take' in the first spot I put them in, I learned they will not 'take' no matter what I do. 1 out of 10 rose plants I would put in just did not like it, so I would toss them into my back corner hospital garden and let them die or come back on their own. Most did not. Even now, some plants do well down the road, but not in the spot I want them, so I just go try another one till one smiles back and gives off it's second set of new growth.Helpful Reply
