The feeling of successfully growing a plant from seed is second to none in any green thumb's gardening journey, acting as a testament to your hard work and commitment.

If you're struggling with seeds germinating, there's a chance that you or external factors aren't the problem but rather the method you opted for in the first place. 'Growing from seed is not the best option for every kind of plant, and this is usually down to their demanding growing conditions or because they take a long time to grow,' explains Craig Morley, gardening expert at Budget Seeds.
