When growing seedlings at home, you need to comply with all necessary requirements.
It is extremely important, in addition to observing the watering schedule, to fertilize and apply fertilizers on time. There are some nuances here.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told when to feed seedlings for the first time.
In this case, there are both general recommendations and the need to take into account the needs of each culture.
When to feed
But the first time you can feed the seedlings is after the emergence of shoots, 10-14 days later.
Until this time, the sprouts have enough light and warmth.
If the soil is chosen correctly and the gardener has taken a responsible approach to preparing for sowing, then the plant will have enough strength to grow without additives.
But experienced gardeners recommend watering the seedlings with melt water during this period.
This is done until 3-4 leaves appear.
After this, you can use any known types of fertilizers - organic, mineral supplements or folk recipes.
