1. How many days to germinate

2. Post-germination maintenance

After sowing gypsophila, it usually takes 3-4 days to sprout. Sometimes it takes longer, and it takes about a week to sprout. After the seeds germinate, you need to gradually increase the light, but do not expose them to strong sunlight. The soil should not be too dry and should be kept moist. When the seedlings grow 2 leaves, they need to be thinned according to the situation to avoid hindering the normal growth of the seedlings.

1. How many days to germinate

Under normal circumstances, after planting the gypsophila seeds, they will germinate in 3-4 days if managed properly. Sometimes it may take a little longer, but most of the time germination will take place within a week. If you want it to germinate faster, you need to control the germination temperature at around 15-20°C, and the temperature should not be too low.

2. Post-germination maintenance

1. Gradually see the light: The seeds cannot see the light before they germinate. After germination, it can gradually see light. It can be provided with some weak astigmatism and cannot receive too strong sunlight. If it is outdoors, it should be slightly shaded at noon to avoid sunburning the newly grown seedlings.

2. Add water: wait for the seeds to germinate Afterwards, water should be replenished appropriately and the soil should not be allowed to dry out too much, otherwise the seedlings will wither due to lack of water. However, do not water too much and maintain the moisture of the cultivation soil. If there is too much water, it will damage its root system. You can use the method of spraying water to replenish water, or use the soaking method. Watering will impact the seedlings and easily cause lodging.

3. Appropriate thinning: Generally, when waiting for the seedlings to grow 2 leaves, if the plants are too close together, the weaker seedlings should be pulled out. There should be at least 3cm distance between seedlings, otherwise long-term squeezing will affect the growth of the seedlings.
