Tomato seedlings are extremely sensitive to errors associated with watering.
Over-watered soil can cause root rot and other diseases.
Lack of water leads to weakening of seedlings and deterioration of their condition, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
How to water tomato seedlings correctly
First time
After planting, you should wait for the shoots to appear. There is no need to start watering immediately. Wait five days and carry out the procedure.
Before the picking procedure
It takes about 14 days to reach this point. It is recommended to water the plant no more than three times during this time. Moisture should only be added if the soil has dried out.
During the picking period, you need to water the seedlings thoroughly.
After the dive
At this stage of development, tomato seedlings need watering approximately once every seven days. However, watch for external signs.
If the leaves lose their elasticity and firmness, then you need to reduce the intervals between waterings. If the soil is wet, then additional watering is not worth it.
