An experienced gardener will always inspect the condition of the seedlings, since their appearance always indicates the health of the plants.

When characteristic spots appear, it is extremely important to establish their true nature.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh identifies three main reasons for this phenomenon.

What do they consist of?

Burns

First of all, it is worth remembering about the possibility of sunburn, which is associated with natural causes. Also, seedlings can get burned from using a lamp.

Sometimes burns are chemical in nature. This is the result of improper spraying procedures.

Nutrients

If the soil has not been additionally enriched with a nutrient mixture, it is better to fertilize it on a regular basis. Otherwise, the seedlings will develop poorly.

Pests

Sometimes we come across soil that already contains a "surprise" in the form of pests. That is why it is recommended to disinfect the soil.

In particular, the appearance of spots may indicate the activity of thrips, whiteflies or spider mites.
