Strong and healthy seedlings are the key to a future bountiful harvest. According to experts and observations of scientists, seedlings are starting to stretch out in more and more gardeners. However, it's too early to be upset! You can still help the plant grow strong and give a bountiful harvest. The most important thing is to take action in time and start solving the difficult situation.
The seedlings are stretched out - what to do?
Growing seedlings at home is often associated with additional difficulties. That is why every gardener needs to know what to do when faced with them. In order not to ruin your harvest, it is better to immediately figure out what to do in this or that case. If you notice the first signs of seedlings pulling out, then you need to determine the reasons, which will help to overcome the consequences.
So, why can seedlings stretch? Seedlings most often stretch upwards if they do not have enough light. In this case, the reason often lies in the gardener's lack of knowledge - he starts sowing seeds for seedlings much earlier than the required time. In order to prevent seedlings from stretching completely, you need to use special phytolamps for additional lighting.
There is another reason why seedlings stretch out - this is overwatering and overfeeding the plant. In this case, it is enough to adjust the watering regime of the seedlings. Water the seedlings when the earthen lump dries out and the leaves become less tight.
If the seedlings are pulling out due to overly dense planting, only picking and planting in separate cups can save the plants.
