If by any chance you have gone ahead with your sowing, your seeds will most probably not grow successfully as excess water is harmful for the roots. This doesn’t necessarily mean they will not grow; they actually do, but are fragile and more prone to disease.

In order to accelerate the process, my advice would be to plant new ones in appropriate pots and to place them in mini greenhouses (which you can find at IKEA) and, if something does go wrong they can be easily substituted.

It is all very simple and I’m pretty sure you are familiar with the process.

A few tips:

Recycled card pots can be placed directly into the soil once the plants reach the desired size as they eventually dissolve into the soil.

Use good quality soil.

Make a hole in the middle – this should be 3 x as big as the seed, sow the seed and water.

Small shoots will appear in a few days.
