GARDENING TIPS FOR SUCCESS....THE SEEDS HAVE SPROUTED..NOW WHAT??
What happens here
Proper watering is key to preventing problems like rot and leggy growth. Ensure your peat pucks are consistently moist but not soaking wet. Overwatering can lead to fungal issues and plant death. Conversely, underwatering will stunt growth. Maintain an even moisture level by checking the pucks daily, especially when plants are hardening off outdoors. If your plants are by a window, rotate the trays regularly to ensure all seedlings receive even light exposure, preventing them from growing leggy (tall and thin) as they stretch towards the light.
Goal: Provide optimal conditions for seedling health and prevent common issues
