Methods of germinating seeds and growing easily transplantable seedlings are disclosed based upon the use of loose pulverulent bed materials the basic ingredient of which consists of a relatively stable form of finely dispersed aqueous liquid the individual droplets of which are enveloped and held within a coating network of smaller, strongly hydrophobic colloidal oxide particles. Methods of producing the basic ingredient are also disclosed as well as preferred proportions of various components and optimized pulverulent bed mixtures.
