How to easily speed up seed germination: effective tips

UAportal has prepared tips on how to speed up seed germination. Sometimes this process can take longer than expected and require some help.

To ensure good growth of seedlings, it is important to pay enough attention to them.

Soil

The reason for slow germination may be the soil you planted the seeds. If the soil is too dense, it can hinder the growth of the seedlings until the transplanting stage. However, you can improve the air permeability of the soil.

A very effective method is to delicately create small holes between the rows with a toothpick. This procedure will allow oxygen to reach the roots, improving the ability of the seedlings to breathe.

Watering

Another important aspect to consider is proper watering. To determine if there is enough moisture in the container, press your finger firmly against the soil. If the soil sticks, it indicates that the soil is sufficiently moist. However, if it stays clean, this is a sign that watering is needed.

Vitamins

Seedlings often have a deficiency of nutrients. For this purpose, special preparations intended for seedlings are used. For example, succinic acid is especially effective in the development of peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, and other plants.
