No indication this is going to sprout. š«¤
I had the same problem in the dirt last time, but it sprouted outdoors in the attempt before that.
Might be too cold, might be that the seeds are too old. I'll let it go for another week or so, then I'm going to just mark that packet as outdoor only. If they don't work out there, then it'll be time to order fresh seeds and make sure that we make them grow quickly so we can collect our own seeds next time around!
I'm giving up on this hydroponic stevia. I also had trouble getting mint started indoors (I know, right?), but when I chucked some seeds in a pot, set it outside and then ignored it, it did just fine. So maybe stevia will enjoy the great outdoors in this same manner.
Next up, I'm trying spinach in this same setup. Sown today, just now. Seed packet said 85% germination rate and I planted 2 seeds. No details on germination time, but it said 50 days to harvest.
The old lady next door gave us some of her mint (a couple of clippings) & weāve been trying to do everything to keep it alive indoors over winterā¦ the struggle is realā¦
Mine died off when I brought it in. I watered it for a while and thrn gave up
But then, after months of absolute neglect (no water, no grow lights, not near a window), I saw some thing sprouting in that pot. Some of it was goldenrod, but some was the mint, seemingly back from the dead! So I think I'm set for life on this front.
I plan on propagating it in the foreseeable future. After I have a few, well established pots for myself, I'd be happy to share.
