Most people acquire houseplants as gifts either as whole plants or in the form of slips for rooting.
Commercial producers start houseplants from seed - and you can do the same. Starting them from seed is an easy, economical and satisfying way to acquire a variety of interesting houseplants. After planting, moisten the medium without disturbing the seeds. Keep the seeds moist until they germinate. To keep the moisture level high, cover the pots or pans with a sheet of glass or place them in clear plastic bags and tie.
