Despite the fact that the nuances of growing tomato seedlings, which will be discussed further, are quite simple, they should be taken into account in order to prevent the death of seedlings.

1. Make sure that the young plants receive enough sunlight to develop properly.

To achieve this, containers with seeds should be placed in exceptionally well-lit areas.

2. Monitor the room temperature – it should be between 18-25 degrees Celsius.

Try to protect the seedlings from overheating or overcooling.

3. A fatal mistake is ignoring the rules of watering - many gardeners are so eager to saturate the soil with moisture that they harm the seedlings.

Remember: you should only pick up the watering can when the top layer of soil has dried out, and the watering should be moderate.

4. Often gardeners advise transplanting seedlings that have reached a height of 12 cm into individual containers or even into a garden bed or greenhouse, where they can continue to grow and develop.
