Several factors make it possible to successfully germinate seeds, the first two being the most important:

• the use of seed from suppliers testing their seeds for their germination capabilities, like our Italian supplier Géo Bavicchi, who are the only ones to our knowledge to perform such tests because they are specialized in seeds to germinate, it is their core business, they export to more than 40 countries worldwide
• Use of a manual or electric automatic srpouter of the brand Easygreen which recreates the ideal conditions for the growth of the seeds, both at the hygrometry level and at the oxygen renewal level in the germination compartment
• allow seeds to breathe avoiding closed clusters where the air does not pass
• allow heat release during germination
• germinate mucilaginous seeds (muchard, basil, rocket....) on a suitable substrate or without substrate, mixing them at maximum height of 15% with non-mucilaginous seeds
