Strong, even seedlings need more than good seeds. Potting mix, warmth, light and moisture also play important roles.

Seed-starting steps · North Shore

How to start seeds at home

A simple approach for starting seeds in Laval, encouraging consistent germination and preparing stronger plants for the garden.

01

Choose suitable seeds

Select varieties for your North Shore project: vegetables, herbs, flowers, grass, clover or other garden crops.

02

Prepare the right mix

Use a light, fine, well-drained seed-starting mix to help germination and young root development.

03

Fill the trays

Fill seed trays or containers without compacting the mix too much so air can reach the roots.

04

Sow at the right depth

Follow the directions for each variety: some seeds need covering, while others require light to germinate.

05

Maintain moisture

Keep the mix moist without waterlogging it. A humidity dome or gentle, regular misting helps maintain moisture.

06

Add warmth and light

A heat mat and grow light can improve germination and help seedlings stay compact and vigorous.

07

Transplant at the right time

Once seedlings have developed true leaves, carefully transplant them into larger containers to support growth.

08

Harden off before planting

Before planting outdoors in Laval, gradually expose seedlings to sun, wind and temperature changes to reduce stress.

Seed-starting advice

Seed-starting essentials

Choose the right mix. A light, fine, well-drained mix helps seeds germinate consistently and gives young roots room to develop.

Maintain even moisture. Seedlings need moist, never waterlogged, growing mix. Consistent moisture encourages more even germination.

Provide enough light. A grow light helps seedlings remain compact, upright and vigorous, especially when started indoors.

Sow at the right time. Each variety has its own schedule. Vegetables, flowers, herbs and grass are not all sown at the same time on the North Shore.

Pro tip

Practical seed-starting advice

For optimal growth, make sure seedlings receive enough moisture and light.

Check moisture

Each day, check that the growing mix is moist but not waterlogged. A spray bottle helps water young seedlings gently.

Watch the dome

Droplets inside a plastic dome indicate moisture is present; you may not need to add water immediately.

Remove at the right time

As soon as shoots appear, remove the dome and continue watering regularly as the seedlings grow.
