3 secrets of strong and healthy seedlings: many summer residents should know about this

Strong seedlings are a guarantee of the absence of serious problems when growing garden crops in open ground.

Unfortunately, not all summer residents manage to ensure that there are no problems with the sprouts.

However, following certain rules will help prevent a number of serious difficulties.

So, it is advisable to choose only the highest quality seed material. In addition, it is necessary to use the most suitable soil.

But that's not all. There are three more secrets to healthy seedlings.

Choose the right capacity

You can use plastic boxes or cups. However, these containers must have holes for drainage, MOS SMI reports.

In addition, do not forget to install a container into which excess water will fall.

If the seedlings do not tolerate transplantation into open ground well, it is advisable to choose a container that can be left in the soil (for example, peat tablets).

Light source

Of course, if the container with seedlings is located on the windowsill of a south-facing window, then you don’t have to worry about a lack of light.

In other cases, the gardener should think about providing the plant with an additional source of light. Thus, phytolamps should be installed.

Watering seedlings correctly

When replenishing moisture deficiency in the soil, it is not advisable to use tap water.

Water that appears after snow melts is ideal. Rainwater is also a good option.

But if there is no other way out and you have to use tap water, then the liquid should be passed through a filter.

It is worth remembering the following: no matter what water the gardener chooses for watering seedlings, it must be settled.
