What to do if the seeds do not grow

As you know, not everything in the world is perfect, especially when it comes to the garden. And the problems begin, as a rule, with the planting of seeds. Not all seeds grow, although it would seem that the earth, watering and the general temperature are everywhere the same.





What to do to increase the chances of a good harvest? We have one proven tool. Without store chemistry and other “miracle” things. But first we want to give some advice on how to properly grow seedlings in an apartment on a windowsill.

Seed seedlings

1. Do not plant seeds too close to each other.
   If you plant seeds very close, it is fraught with sad consequences. Everything will go well at first, but the faster plants develop, the more their roots will be intertwined. This will lead to their general weakening, because when there is not enough space, it is normal to grow and function. And during the transplant, the woven roots will be damaged, and the plants may even die. We advise you not to engage in wasteful space saving and plant plants at least 5 cm apart.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Do not put the container with seedlings on a cold window sill
   In the early days of the landing seed Very sensitive to low temperatures. And will remain so for at least another 10 days. Therefore, it is best to put paper or cloth under the container to reduce the risk of freezing seeds. In addition, if the window sill is cold, there is a chance that the window itself is blowing somewhere. Try to plug all the holes that create the draft so that the seedlings that have risen do not freeze.
   
   
   
3. Use the ash.
   If you have a cottage or stove, or just the opportunity to get somewhere a little ash, mix it with the soil in which you will plant seeds. You can just sprinkle some ash on top and water it. This will give an excellent feeding to future plants and help you to harvest a good harvest.
   
   
   
4. Remember to aerate the soil.
   Plant roots, even tiny ones, need oxygen. If the earth is too rammed, they will surely wither and die. To prevent this, from time to time, loosen the soil with a toothpick so that the air gets where it is needed. Don't overdo it, you don't want to damage the roots with a toothpick, do you?
   
   
   
5. Use the right water.
   Distilled water does not carry any important minerals. In fact, it does not carry anything at all, so it can not be called “vital moisture”. Don't pour it on the seedlings. Also, protect the water before watering. This should be done to maintain room temperature. Cold water for seedlings is a great stress. Do not use it, otherwise the plants will die in the shortest possible time.
   
   
   

But back to our main question: how to resuscitate the seeds that have not grown. It's actually pretty simple.

You'll need it.

• 2 tables of hot water
• 0.25 tsp hot pepper
• 2 drops of medical iodine

Manufacture

1. Make a solution out of all the ingredients. If you pour them seeds a week after planting, it will be a good stimulation for their early germination in the future.
2. If you pour this solution only the seeds that have not risen, it will give a great chance of their germination in the near future.
   
   
   

So seediness It is almost impossible to check visually, we advise you to actively use this method. It's completely safe and simple. Finding the right ingredients will not be difficult either.





And when the seeds have already risen and turned into seedlings, use our advice to turn them into strong young plants that give a good harvest. Good luck!
