Yes, the crystal soil will get dried up and you would need to add water. You can mix the soil so to make sure not only the bottom soil receive the water.

Hope this help. Have a happy new year!

I have bought some beans on ebay, and so far they have not grown yet. But I’m wondering, since the magic crystal soil can dry up, what do you do? do you add more water to it? And also, if you have to do that then the top soil won’t receive the water, right?

It’s usually not ok to take a look at the seeds, because they need a stable environment to start germination. But for the first few days, especially when the beans are not growing at all, it is ok to take a look at them once

It is definitely not the matter of regular soil or crystal soil. I wonder if your seeds have already “expired”. You see, most seeds, if not all, become unusable as time passes. It depends on the type of seeds as well as the environment we keep them in.

Where did you buy these seeds and crystal soil?

Hi Henry,

So, it sounds like there isn’t any root or new leaf growing out from the seeds huh. And no! You shouldn’t leave the seeds in the dark. At the very beginning, the seeds will need a stable environment (soil in this case), right temperature (warmth) and water to start germination. And once the process has kicked off, it needs light.

Try to keep your seeds in a bright area with no direct sunlight

Cheers,
Sandy
