How to Grow Seeds at Home :

Broccoli can be grown easily from seed; you can buy its seeds online or local plant shop.

Broccoli seeds look like mustard seeds (tiny size). The best season to grow broccoli seeds is early winter or midwinter (August to September).

How to Prepare Soil: To make soil, take at least a 7-inch flower pot and coco peat(60%), sand (30%), and vermicompost (10%). Mix it well and pour this soil mixture(70%) into a flower pot and give a few glasses of water; this soil mixture settles down in the flower pot.

Now make thick lines in the soil and pour these seeds into those lines. Now put a 2 to 3-inch layer of soil in the pot. After all, pour some water into the pot and keep the pot in the shaded area for 3 to 4 days. Germination starts after 3 to 4 days, and after germination keeps the pot in full sunlight.

Within 10 to 15 days, these seeds grow by 3 to 4 inches, and the plant watches small leaves. When these plants grow up to 4 to 7 inches and more, we need to repot every plant in a separate flower pot or container (You can use the same soil mixture).

While planting: Always check the drainage hole in the bottom of the flower pot and soil pH (should be 5 to 7). Seeds do not overlap while planting, and the distance of the seed should be 3 to 4 cm. Keep the plant in a place where morning sunlight is good.

Plants need at least 7 to 8 hours of sunlight, or you can maintain a temperature between 20° to 25°C. Save plants from heavy rain or high temperature. If the temperature is not supported, the leaves are burnt, and these leaves turn yellow.
