How to germinate seeds for seedlings in 24 hours

How to germinate seeds in 24 hours

Is it possible to germinate seeds for seedlings overnight? Quite!
I really love growing seedlings and plants for my garden. And somehow I decided to search on the Internet how to germinate seeds in a quick way. One of the foreign sources described the method of “scarification of seeds.”
It turns out that if you germinate seeds in the usual classical way, then most of the entire process time is spent on soaking the seed shell and allowing moisture to reach the body itself.
The scarification method is the process of removing part of the seed's protective shell to allow moisture to directly reach the kernel.

Materials needed


  • Dried seeds you need for germination.
  • Paper napkin or towel.
  • Sandpaper or wire cutters.
  • Water.
  • Ziploc bag or regular plastic bag.

Using sandpaper, grind a piece of the shell down to the body of the seed. This can also be done with regular nail pieces. It is only necessary to damage part of the protective shell to provide access to water.

Now packaging. Take a paper napkin and moisten it generously with water. We place the treated seeds on it at a short distance from each other. And we put the whole thing in a zip bag. Place it in a preferably warm place and wait.
