Why don t all seeds germinate at the same time?

Not all of your seeds will sprout at the same time due to constant temperature fluctuations typically observed in nature. surface and pressed or rolled in for best results since they contain only enough stored food for a limited period of growth.

What will happen if all seeds fall at the same place?

If all seeds of a plant were to fall at the same place and grow there, it would result in severe competition for sunlight, water, minerals and space. As a result, the seeds would not grow into healthy plants.

How do plants drop seeds?

Plants disperse their seeds in lots of different ways. Some seeds are transported by the wind and are shaped to float, glide or spin through the air. Some seed pods are designed to explode and throw the seeds a good distance from the parent plant. Many plants also use animals to carry their seeds.

What happens if you plant two seeds in the same place?

Planting two seeds in the same place will mean competition of the plants roots to avail of the nutrition available from the same soil.Likely hood of both plants getting stunted is high.However there is also a possibility that the plants may synergise to get normal growth,if they dont belong to the same species.

Why are some of my seedlings not germinating?

Some seed has a waxy outer coating which may contain chemicals that prevent germination or it might just be a physical barrier that prevents water from entering the seed. Waxy coatings can be removed with soapy water or you might need to wash them in alcohol.

How are plants able to disperse their seeds?

Seed dispersal. Because plants cannot walk around and take their seeds to other places, they have developed other methods to disperse (move) their seeds. The most common methods are wind, water, animals, explosion and fire.

Why are seeds not able to move away from the soil?

They need oxygen and produce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). This carbon dioxide needs to be able to move away from the seed. If the soil or media is not well aerated due to overwatering or compaction, the CO 2 will not dissipate and seeds can suffocate.
