An expert in gardening, his passion, Siloé Oliveira shares numerous tips online with his subscribers in the form of videos posted on his social networks. This expert recently shared a new little trick to support the development of your plants and ensure a fast and successful growth of your precious plants. To do this, he uses a product that we all have at home… toilet paper!
It’s on his account, called Suburban Homestead , that he reveals his tips for successfully germinating seeds and obtaining magnificent plants. The gardener acknowledges that many plant lovers already use paper towels.
However, according to him, this is a mistake because toilet paper offers better options. Not only does toilet paper perfectly retain the moisture needed for germination, but it also decomposes more easily. However, this is the key because this quick decomposition allows the roots of your seedlings not to get tangled in the toilet paper, unlike paper towels. This will make transplanting your little seedlings much easier.
Neither too dry nor too wet, a second tip to ensure perfect humidity
To do this, we still need to rely on a second trick. Our expert gives instructions on how to easily germinate your precious seeds. To do this, use a large plate or a slightly hollow dish such as a large glass bowl in which you put a little water.
On top of that, place your slightly soaked toilet paper sheet and your precious seeds on another smaller plate. To keep the toilet paper moist without it getting soggy, fill the plate with water, making sure that the plate is slightly above the water level. This simple but effective tip allows the seeds to benefit from an optimal environment to germinate without the risk of mold!
