OK. A picture may be a thousand words, too. (attached) There are 50 seeds in this package. They are from B&T World Seeds. It is recommended that they are surface sown and light is needed for germination. I have not grown seed in vermiculite before. (I've only rooted cuttings.) Normally, I can see seeds, use my Pro-Seeder and sow away... in this case I get "flakes" (the picture may be a little unclear, they are almost semi-metallic looking "flakes" but I think it may be vermiculite). I cannot see or distinguish the seeds. How would you recommend sowing them? I don't want to overseed so do I sow them in a tray vs a container? Spread very thin... But how?
