Not every person can grow seedlings without making mistakes.
Some mistakes can lead to the death of seedlings and future harvest.
Learn about the most common mistakes and never make them.
You have chosen poor quality seeds.
Do not buy cheap and untested seeds. Before making a purchase, read reviews about their quality. Pay attention to the expiration date and the tightness of the packaging.
Use of stimulating solutions without measure
If you neglect the dosage, the seeds may not sprout at all. Especially now you can buy already processed seeds.
Using poor soil to grow seedlings
Garden soil is absolutely not suitable for growing seedlings. It can carry diseases and be infested with pests. It is better to buy special soil for this purpose.
Using bad containers for growing seedlings
Seedlings should not be grown in containers that are too small for them - paper or peat cups, special plastic containers for growing seedlings.
Incorrect time for planting seedlings
Late plantings will not take root in the soil. All sowing times are indicated on the package or trust the lunar calendar.
The seeds are sown very deep.
It will be very difficult for such seeds to germinate. Sow large seeds deeper and small ones shallowly.
Moisturizing after planting
The soil is watered with warm water before sowing, and then as it dries out.
Incorrect lighting, humidification and watering
- Overwatering will lead to rotting, and drought will lead to drying out. Seedlings should be watered with warm water.
- The seedlings require 12 hours of light, provided with a phytolamp.
- Low temperatures can cause slowdown or even death of seedlings. The optimal temperature for growing seedlings should be 20 degrees.
