Steps to Use a Reusable Germie Kit

A reusable Germie kit is simple gestures repeated each season: prepare, sow, tend, transplant, clean. Here is the complete cycle — from first use to the nth.

    • The cycle of one use

    A reusable kit works in a loop:

    • Prepare — clean kit, sterile substrate, cells filled.
    • Sow — 1 seed per cell at 2–3 diameters.
    • Germinate — warmth (20–30 °C) + covered moisture + air.
    • Grow — lid off, light, bottom-watering.
    • Transplant — whole clod to the garden or a bigger pot.
    • Clean — disassemble, wash, disinfect, store — then prepare again the next season.

    The sowing phase

    • Fill with sterile seed mix — light and draining.
    • Sow at 2–3 times the diameter — label species and date.
    • Moisten — wrung sponge, not soaked.
    • Cover + warm — film or plate for moisture, heating mat for warmth-loving species.

    The growth phase

    • At emergence: lid off, mat off, maximum light (6 h min).
    • Bottom-watering — soak/capillary, foliage dry.
    • Monitoring — every 48 h, never let it dry out.

    End of cycle: transplanting

    As soon as the seedling holds with true leaves: the cell's clod comes out whole — clean transplant to the growth pot or open ground (after frost for tender plants).

    Cleaning and recommissioning

    • Disassemble the kit — each part washes separately.
    • Wash in hot soapy water.
    • Disinfect with 10% bleach then air-dry — between seasons or after a problem.
    • Dry completely and store dry — ready for the next season.
    • 10-year warranty — the cycle repeats for a decade.

    Frequently asked questions

How many steps to use the kit?

6 phases: prepare → sow → germinate → grow → transplant → clean — then start again the next year.

How many times can the kit be reused?

As long as the warranty covers: 10 years — reuse is the principle of the kit.

Mandatory cleaning between seasons?

Yes — and it's simple: disassemble, wash, disinfect with 10% bleach, dry — the baseline against damping-off.
