Answer:
The warmer the environment, the faster the germination. The best average temperature to grow your plants is 18 to 24'C (64 to 75'F). Usually it takes 1 to 2 weeks to germinate. Some plants such as mini tomato, chili pepper and rosemary may take up to 3 weeks.03-Nov-2021

- During the early stages of germination, the seeds absorb a lot of water, which causes the seed coat to expand and soften at the right temperature. This phase is called imbibition.
- The growth process is started when enzymes are activated.
- The seed's internal physiology is awakened, and it starts to breathe, produce proteins, and digest the food it has stored. This is the lag period for seed germination.
- Radicles create a primary root from the seed coat. Water is absorbed by the seed from the ground. Once the radicle and plumule emerge, the shoot starts to grow vertically.
- During the last stage of seed germination, the seed cell becomes metabolically active, elongates, and divides, becoming the seedling.
