Put the seeds in the refrigerator: what happens is incredible.
By placing an apple seed in the refrigerator you can grow a seedling . After 20 days you will notice that the seed begins to sprout. To create a plant you simply have to cut an apple in two and take the seeds inside. After removing the seeds, we move on to a step called “vernalization” .
Vernalization is a very simple process: take a plastic tray with an airtight container, cut a piece of napkin and insert it into the base of the tray. Make sure to moisten the napkin well and then place the seeds on top. You choose the amount of seeds to insert .
At this point it is necessary to cover the seeds with another piece of damp napkin. Close the plastic container tightly with its cap and place it in the refrigerator, specifically in the egg section . Now you just have to forget them there and it won’t open the container anymore. After a few days the changes arrive, let’s see in detail.
What happens in these twenty days?
After just ten days you will notice a different appearance: the napkin will change color, turning brown. The seeds will open and the first sprout will be noticed. At this point it will be necessary to transfer the germinated seeds to a pot with very draining soil. The seed must be inserted at least 1 cm deep and with the sprout facing down. It must be covered well and delicately and then watered abundantly. At this point we must look for a point in the house where to place the vase, and it must be a point where it receives light, but not direct light .
Direct sunlight is not good for the germination of these seeds: the soil dries out too quickly and thus compromises the birth of the seedling. Five days after sowing, the plant begins to sprout in all its splendor. On day twenty you will notice vigorous leaves sprouting from the pot, but before transplanting the plant to a larger pot let it grow a little more. There will also come a time when you have to graft it or plant it directly into the ground, the choice is yours .
