Seedling

Much depends on the quality of the soil. It should be loose, water-permeable and nutritious. This can be achieved by using different substrates - from the suburban area and purchased soil.

Now many gardeners use the hydrogel when growing seedlings. It is pre-poured with an aqueous solution of complex fertilizers (very weak). Then, a root stimulant is added to this mixture (this may be a liquid "CorneSil"). Then the swollen hydrogel is mixed with a small amount of soil, and this composition fills the bottom of the container by about half the height. The top layer is a light nutrient soil with acidity close to neutral (without hydrogel). It must be moistened, powdered from above with dry ground.
