I'm so excited that my nasturtium are growing well from seed so far. They're going to be a focal point of my edible flower garden.

Any advice on growing conditions mine seem to be slacking a bit?

I've wanted nasturtium for years ever since an old neighbor shared it in a salad! For some reason I had a difficult time finding it, so I decided to grow it from seeds once I found some while seed shopping! They are about 5-6" tall so far. Not sure I have much advice yet but I could try, it might be helpful if you told me what conditions yours are in? I'll check temperature and humidity later today once I get a chance and reply with some more information. 😃

Filed the seeds, and put them in a non-soil seedling mix, in little seed trays, inside with a temp @ 64-74 F° and Humidity maybe 56%? (I just realized the batteries ran out on the thermometer so I'm not entirely sure) a little warmer might be good but I'm not sure and it's been pretty cold here. Plenty of light, my fan wasn't hooked up but I hope to do that today because I think it will make them stronger. I transplanted a few into a high nutrient potting soil into a little larger containers.

I'm new to talking about plants with anyone so I'm not real sure if my answer is helpful but I hope so! Good luck with your yummy nasturtiums!

@Elicia I'm dying to try a nasturium salad. I was growing them for the edible flowers to garnish food last year and never had luck germ. this year i have 3 plants that are looking better with the recent rain.
