Do not allow the soil to overwater or dry out, as this will negatively affect the condition of the seedlings.

The soil may be only slightly moist, but certainly not always wet along the entire length of the main root.

The top layer of soil should dry out well.

It is recommended to moisten the soil as it dries out - rarely, but abundantly. At the same time, do not forget about the humidity and temperature in the room. If it is cool, the moisture will evaporate longer.

It is also necessary to take into account the age of the seedlings. If the plants are mature, then they need more water when watering.

You should not water tomatoes from above into the depression along the edge of the glass, or use bottom watering.

You can tell that tomatoes need watering by their appearance. If they lack moisture, the leaves droop and wither.

It must be emphasized that lack of water will slow down the growth and development of the crop.

The water should be at room temperature, filtered or at least settled.
