An experienced gardener knows that seedlings need care - the process of planting and growing requires knowledge and understanding of the process.
But there is another procedure that can be carried out to improve the condition of the seedlings.
This process is called hardening - we suggest you figure out why it is needed.
Let's take a closer look at the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why do you need to harden off seedlings?
This procedure must be carried out so that after planting in the ground the plant can better survive the stress associated with a change in environment and growing conditions.
So-called "spoiled" seedlings may begin to wither, reacting painfully to stress.
Therefore, an experienced gardener begins to open the window for a couple of hours every day, takes the plant outside during the day with the onset of spring, and so on.
