In order for tomatoes to please us with a generous harvest, we need to approach the cultivation of seedlings with the utmost responsibility.
To do this, you should adhere to three important rules.
What do they consist of?
Meet deadlines
Many inexperienced gardeners forget that tomato seedlings should not be over-exposed, otherwise the vegetables will be extremely sickly. It is also worth considering that over-exposed seedlings may not "survive" until sowing.
Therefore, try to ensure that you plant tomatoes no later than 55 days after starting to work with the planting material.
Lighting
At the moment of starting to work with seedlings, bright and clear days are a great rarity, so it will not be possible to do without a special lamp for plants, notes agronomist and landscape designer, expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
As soon as you notice the first sprouts, you should provide the tomatoes with 24-hour light for ten days. After this period, the seedlings will need half of this time.
Humidity level and temperature
If you want the seedlings to grow viable and high-quality, then provide the tomato with a humidity level of 75%. Temperature conditions are also important.
At night the temperature can be 17 degrees, but during the day you need to keep it at 21 degrees.
