Did you know you can use store bought peanuts to plant a peanut plant? Use shelled, raw nuts, as salted or roasted ones won’t germinate.

This a great project to do with the kids as it is super easy, produces fast results and teaches the concept of reusing.

Step 1. Push the nuts

Push the nuts 25mm deep into a pot of moist seed-raising mix. Seal the pot in a polythene bag and leave in a dark place for one to two weeks to germinate.

Step 2. Remove the bag

Remove the bag and position in a well-lit spot with at least 75% humidity and a temperature of 20-30°C. Water well and mist daily to maintain humidity.
