FAQs
How often should I water the seed tray?
Water when the soil surface feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering.
Can I use regular potting mix instead of seed starting mix?
It is not recommended, as regular potting mix can be too dense for delicate seedlings. Seed starting mix provides better drainage and aeration.
How long should I keep the lid on?
Keep the lid on until the seeds have germinated. Then, gradually increase ventilation to acclimatize the seedlings.
How do I transplant the seedlings?
Gently lift the seedlings from the cells, taking care not to damage the roots. Transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden.
How do I clean the seed tray?
Wash the tray with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before storing.
Is the lid necessary?
Yes, the lid helps to maintain humidity and temperature, which are crucial for germination.
Troubleshooting
Mold growth on the soil surface.
Improve air circulation by removing the lid for a few hours each day. You can also use a fungicide suitable for seedlings.
Seedlings are leggy and weak.
Provide more light, either by moving the tray to a sunnier location or using grow lights.
Seeds not germinating.
Check the seed packet for specific germination requirements, such as temperature and light. Ensure the soil is consistently moist and not too cold.
