These little beauties are marigolds that we planted 3 days ago in our walipini/greenhouse. They've been on a heat mat which keeps the soil temperature at 72° F.

This tray was not placed on a heat mat and nothing has emerged despite being planted the same day.

I have some of my seeds on top of the radiators around my house lol! Hopefully that helps them sprout soon!

It should as long as they don't get too hot.
