Why do seedling leaves turn yellow: a mistake that can cost you your harvest
Every experienced gardener has at least once observed how the leaves of seedlings begin to turn yellow for no apparent reason.
In fact, there are serious reasons for this process. There are several reasons, and the quality of the soil plays an important role.
It is important not only to prepare the seeds for planting. You also need to take care of high-quality soil for the plants.
Experts believe that the right choice of peat plays a big role. Buying the first one you come across is not the smartest option.
For example, peat is often treated with herbicides. They do not harm only mature plants, but are destructive for very young seedlings.
Experts advise using briquette peat. It contains fewer harmful substances. Additionally, the peat is steamed before use.
Excessive watering is harmful to seedlings. In this case, seedlings may die due to black leg. But lack of moisture can lead to wilting.
