Troubleshooting

Seeds not germinating

Ensure seeds are kept consistently moist, not waterlogged. Check that the temperature is within the ideal range (18-22°C) and that they are receiving adequate indirect light.

Mold or mildew developing

Increase air circulation and ensure proper drainage. Rinse and drain thoroughly if using a sprouting jar. Avoid over-watering and waterlogged conditions.

Sprouts are slimy

This often indicates over-watering or insufficient rinsing. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and drain well. Ensure good air circulation.

Weak or leggy growth

Ensure adequate bright, indirect light. Growth can be leggy if light is insufficient. Consistent temperature also plays a role.
