Key takeaway
Neither too little nor too much: let observation guide watering.
01
Observe before watering
Needs vary with seedling age, growing medium and exposure. Check their condition instead of applying one schedule to every batch.
02
Water carefully
Use clean water and a gentle flow directed at the growing medium. Check that water reaches through the root ball, rather than only wetting the surface.
03
Avoid waterlogging
Check drainage. Constantly saturated growing media deprive roots of air and encourage health problems.
