hello all trying to grow some sunflower seedlings for the first time ever i planted some in the garden....the sprouted but before a second set of leaves appeared something plucked them or at them.......but they are gone i have tried now planting some seeds in a seed raising container (clear lid plastic tray) and i have soaked the seeds for a few hours and planted them pointy end down and put them in the cupboard (water inthe bottom) some of them have sprouted after a few days but they a growing sideways rather than up ( a spindly looking white shoot) just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on why this would be
Hi Milesy Seeds grow towards the light. I am guessing that the cupboard is dark inside , when the seeds germinate the new shoots have no light source to reach towards. Also no light means the plant cannot photosynthesize, this is why they are white and spindly. They will begin to grow more strongly and turn green if you take them out of the cupboard and put them a bright sunny spot.
