To grow seedlings, it is very important to choose the right type of soil - today, peat and coconut substrate are quite popular.
Both options can be beneficial for the plant as they have certain advantages.
They promote the growth of crops by providing them with essential nutrients.
Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

The substrate also retains moisture well, which is also an important characteristic for growing crops.
