In spring, the key word for all summer residents is “seedlings”.
During this period, questions arise related to growing seedlings. Beginners learn the basics, and more experienced gardeners work on the mistakes of past years.
Experienced gardeners have identified three rules for healthy and stocky seedlings. Successful cultivation of all major crops is based on these nuances.
Seed quality
Planting material must be disinfected. For example, in a solution of potassium permanganate. This will reduce the hassle of various diseases during the growing process.
Lighting
The key to the health of young plants is good lighting. Containers with seedlings are placed on the brightest window. If there is still not enough light, then the plants are illuminated for the first 5-7 days for 24 hours. Then the work of phytolamps is reduced to 12 hours a day.
Soil
In order for the seedlings to grow strong and healthy, it is not enough to collect soil from the garden and put the seeds there. The soil should consist of peat and biohumus. In a nutrient medium, the seedlings will not get sick and stretch out.
