How often do I need to water my plants seeds before they germinate? I have a painted daisy, baby’s breath, and zinnias right now that are just seeds right now.

I always mist the top of the soil as many times a day as needed to keep the top moist. Usually that’s once or twice a day. You just want the seeds to stay moist so they wake up and germinate. You don’t want them soaked because the seed can float away or rot. Just some light moisture is good. Think of a sponge after you wring it out.
