Fertilizers should be applied to moist soil to avoid burning the plant roots.

Fertilizers must be applied in such a way that the fragile leaves are not damaged.

You also need to remember about moderation when watering young plants.

The water should be at room temperature. Too cold or too hot liquid will only cause harm.

It should be taken into account that it is advisable to water the plantings in the morning.

In this case, the roots will definitely not suffer in wet soil at lower night temperatures. As for foliar fertilizers, they can be used in the evening.

It is also worth remembering that it is better to protect seedlings from drafts. All plants should have enough nutrients and light.
