There are a number of factors that affect the condition of seedlings, however, no matter how much we would like to admit it, the one who planted the seedlings is always to blame for their stretching.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , seedlings can stretch out due to a lack of light, dense plantings and neglect of the timing of planting seeds.
In addition, overuse of fertilizers, violation of watering rules and excessively high room temperatures have a negative impact.
So, if you don't want to deal with the consequences of stretched seedlings, don't sow seeds in January or February if you can do it in March.
Choose the lightest windowsills for placing boxes with seedlings. Supplementary lighting lamps will help eliminate the problem of insufficient light.
In addition, do not be greedy, trying to fit as many containers with young shoots as possible on one windowsill.
Make sure that seedlings are not exposed to high night temperatures.
Try to resist the urge to water or feed the seedlings too much.
