Key points to note when watering seedlings in plug trays

Seedling plug trays, water and fertilizer management are key factors for the success of seedlings. People often ask whether the seedlings need to be watered every day after they are raised, or whether the substrate is very water-retaining and can be watered for several days. So with these questions in mind, we will manage the seedling plug trays and watering issues that need to be paid attention to. Briefly sort it out. Key points to note when watering seedling plug trays include:

1. Watering should be even and avoid water accumulation. Different varieties and different growth stages have different water requirements, so water them appropriately.

2. Control the frequency of watering, not too frequent. Generally, 1-2 times a day is appropriate.

3. Use a sprinkler to water. The water flow should be gentle and the leaves should not be wet.

4. Avoid watering in direct sunlight to prevent scalding the seedlings. Watering should be done during shady and cool periods.

5. After watering, drain excess water in time to prevent water accumulation from causing root mildew.

6. Adjust the amount of watering according to different seasons. You can water more in summer and less in winter.

7. Clean plug trays and water pipes regularly to prevent clogging and ensure even watering.

8. When you first move the pot, water a small amount frequently and wait for the seedlings to adapt to the new environment before watering normally.

9. Reasonably regulate watering according to soil moisture conditions to avoid excessive humidity or drought.

10. Use appropriate water quality, give priority to rainwater or purified water, and avoid water sources with excessive salt content.
