There are four main conditions necessary for seed germination:
1. Water - Seeds need water to activate enzymes that start the germination process. Without water, the seeds will remain dormant.
2. Temperature - Different plants require different optimal temperatures for germination. Generally, most seeds germinate best in temperatures of 65-75°F (18-24°C).
3. Oxygen - During the germination process, seeds need to take in oxygen to break down stored carbohydrates and provide energy for growth.
4. Light - Not all seeds require light to germinate, but some do. Some seeds need to be exposed to light to break dormancy, such as lettuce or other greens.
