How to Water Seedlings After Picking: A Detailed Guide for Beginners
Pricking out is a procedure that involves transplanting seedlings by pinching off the longest root.
After carrying out such an “operation”, watering the seedlings is of great importance.
To ensure that the soil adheres tightly to the roots and there are no voids left in the container, it should be completely soaked.
If the seedlings are large enough, you can use the traditional method of watering – from above.
If the seedlings are small, this means that the plantings are easily washed away; you need to place them in a tray filled with water and wait until the soil is saturated with moisture.
From above, they should be sprayed with a spray bottle.
In addition to watering, there are several other rules for caring for transplanted seedlings, which are in a vulnerable position.
The plants are moved to a cool place with high enough humidity. At the same time, it is worth ensuring that the young plants are not exposed to direct sunlight. After 3-5 days, when the seedlings take root and begin to grow, they can be placed on the windowsill again.
