Growing quality seedlings is easy as pie if you know some simple tricks.
With the right approach, you can grow quality seedlings and change the soil structure so that the seedlings are not susceptible to diseases. Black leg is especially dangerous among them.
How to protect seedlings from diseases and pests
When growing vegetable or flower seedlings, moisture often stagnates in the soil, which leads to sad consequences: plants become infected with root rot.
Excessive watering also affects this. Water stagnates and the seedlings suffer: they wither and become ill.
The solution to this problem is the product "Vermiculite", which is more effective than perlite or expanded clay. The product has a high absorption capacity and can absorb liquids much more than its own weight.
The mineral is not subject to decomposition and decay under the influence of microorganisms and is not a favorable environment for insects.
Vermiculite is neutral to the action of alkalis and acids, is an environmentally friendly material and contains microelements useful for plants: K, Mg, Al and others.
Most of the microelements are in a form that is difficult for plants to access, so the product is not considered as the main supplier of nutrients.
When growing indoor plants and seedlings, add "Vermiculite" from 10 to 30% of the applied soil.
