Young plants often suffer from a disease caused by overwatering.

The disease is serious, because without proper action on the part of the gardener, the seedlings die.

Hydrogen peroxide has long been used not only in medicine, but also in gardening. But some summer residents place too much hope in it.

So, it is believed that hydrogen peroxide is supposedly a fertilizer. In fact, this is not true. But it can be used if the seedlings are affected by root rot. The earlier it is used, the greater the chances of curing the seedlings.

Ideally, hydrogen peroxide is used as a preventative measure. Thanks to it, seedlings become more resistant to diseases.

Use peroxide during watering. Mix 4 tbsp of the product in 2 liters of water. Apply the solution no more than once every 2 weeks.

But it is important to remember that hydrogen peroxide is not a nourishing agent, but a strong oxidizer. Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen - this is its main composition.
