Take a seedling tray,
fill it with potting soil mix, and then spread Antirrhinum seeds over the soil. Cover the
seeds with a sprinkling of the potting soil because antirrhinum seeds are tiny
and need light to germinate, so they do not need to be covered with a thick
layer of soil. Place the seedling tray in a bright spot until the seeds
germinate. Water the soil gently and keep them moist. Antirrhinum or snapdragon
seeds germinate in 10-21 days.
After Antirrhinum seeds germinate
and when the first true leaves appear, you need to transplant the seedling into
a larger pot.
