How to Start Seeds Indoors Without Buying Anything


Starting seeds indoors doesn’t have to be expensive—or complicated.

Read on or go straight to the guide

If you’ve been putting it off because you don’t have grow lights, seed trays, or special tools, here’s the truth:

You can start seeds indoors at home without buying anything—and still grow healthy seedlings.

This post will walk you through the basics and give you a free one-page printable guide to make it easy to start today.

Why Most People Delay Starting Seeds Indoors

Many beginner gardeners believe they need:

  • Fancy seed trays
  • Grow lights
  • Heat mats
  • Special equipment

But seed starting success isn’t about buying more—it’s about understanding what seedlings actually need.

Once you know the basics, starting seeds becomes simple, affordable, and doable for real life.

What Seeds Actually Need to Grow Indoors

Seedlings only need:

  • Light (natural or simple indoor light)
  • Moisture
  • Warmth
  • Airflow

Most homes already provide these things.

The challenge isn’t supplies—it’s knowing how to set things up correctly and what mistakes to avoid, especially if you’re new.
