Cabbage seedlings are capricious: they need a lot of light and coolness.
In such conditions, seedlings grow strong and vigorous.
However, even in apartment conditions, the seedlings will be ideal and will not suffer from black leg. You only need to follow a few simple rules of care.
Soil additive
The first secret is hidden in ash. The fact is that seedlings need very moist soil at the early stages. But at the same time, high humidity is a significant risk of black leg.
Ash solves the problem. It takes away excess moisture and then, as needed, gives it back. On average, 1 glass of ash is added to 10 liters of soil.
Caring for seedlings
The first 5-7 days after emergence, the seedlings are not watered. The soil is allowed to dry out. This is the basis for proper development. In addition, the seedlings are moved to the most illuminated windowsill or additional lighting is used.
Watering is resumed after a week, but only in the tray. You cannot pour water on the seedlings.
Timely prevention
Watering is carried out with a weak solution of manganese (pink solution). Only in this case the soil is moistened from above. The treatment is carried out once every 10 days. Watering is carried out so that the soil is wet to a depth of 1 cm.
