Tomatoes are healthy and tasty vegetables that many summer residents prefer to grow on their own plots. However, the crop is considered quite fragile.

Therefore, even at the stage of growing seedlings, you should remember some rules.

After all, the future harvest depends on the quality of the seedlings.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, provided more details.

As the specialist noted, it is important to use fertile soil and moisten it in time even when growing seedlings at home.

The seeds should not be placed too tightly in the pots. There should be a distance of 2-3 cm between them. In this case, the roots will not connect, which means that transplanting will be easier.

Additionally, you can also use coconut substrate to ensure normal growth of fragile plants.

It is important to periodically check your plantings for diseases and pests in order to eliminate problems in a timely manner.
