The snow that has fallen in recent days, together with the drop in temperatures, certainly does not make us think of spring. Almost all sets and sets are at rest. A sad panorama, if you will, but unavoidable on much of the peninsula. The coldest days of winter are approaching, but that does not mean that the first seeds cannot be planted now in preparation for the spring season. Why not try a simple experiment that will allow us to see a new life being born in a few minutes? Let’s find out how.
How many times have we heard that ” an apple a day keeps the doctor away “. In fact, one would not be enough, but at least two a day would be enough to eat . However, much less will be enough for what we will see shortly. The apple is actually one of the easiest fruits to use if you want to do creative experiments . After all, it takes many years to see an apple tree bear fruit, but it may take a few days to see a seed germinate .

So after eating an apple , we can decide not to throw the leftovers in the trash, but instead try to save some seeds . To perform a simple operation, we will need a piece of absorbent paper , an airtight container and a water sprayer.
Ideal for home use with children or grandchildren to help them discover the secrets of life and marvel at how only children can do it. A few minutes of time to surprise them after less than a week.
How to grow an apple seedling from a simple seed.
That’s why we remove and preserve the black seeds . We wash them well, dry them and then put them in an airtight container, which we line beforehand with absorbent paper . It will be enough to place it only on the bottom. Before placing the seed, we will need to spray them with a little water to keep them moist.
Then we take another absorbent paper, moisten it and cover it. At that moment, close the jar and put it in the fridge . That’s exactly the trick . Let it sprout in a cool place. More precisely, we will have to place it in the egg department .
After less than 10 days, we will be able to see how small roots will grow from the seeds . It is enough to plant them in a pot rich in drainage soil and make a small opening so that the first leaves appear after a few days .
It is important not to touch the seeds and especially the roots with your hands , but with tweezers . This is to prevent them from being “burned” by the heat.
Finally, you need to place the vase in a bright place , but not directly exposed to sunlight. The soil must always be moistened with a sprayer in order for the seedling to grow. In less than three weeks, we will be able to see the results of all this attention.
Then, of course, it will take some time to see how it grows stronger, so that we are ready for the graft that will lead it to bear fruit. Place the seeds in the refrigerator in an airtight container with paper towels: the trick to start a new apple tree plant is amazing. A great way to entertain our children .
