2. Reasons for seedling failure

After the gypsophila seedlings are potted, they need to be placed in a cool and well-ventilated place. After they adapt to the environment, they can be maintained normally. During the seedling stage, you can apply nitrogen fertilizer and slowly increase the time of exposure to light, but do not expose it to strong light and keep the flower soil moist. During the seedling stage, if there is too much water, lack of sunlight, or the seedlings grow too tightly, lodging will easily occur.

1. Maintenance after potting

After the Gypsophila seedlings are potted, they must first adapt to the new environment. Before it adapts, place it in a cool and well-ventilated place. After it adapts, you can maintain it normally. When the plant is still a seedling, nitrogen fertilizer is usually applied to it, which is beneficial to the growth of the seedling. The light in the breeding environment can be slowly increased, but the sunlight should not be too strong. Its drought tolerance is not very good, so it needs to be watered in time and the flower soil should be kept moist.

2. Reasons for seedling failure

1. Water: During the growth period of Gypsophila seedlings, do not water them too much. At this time, its roots have not fully grown and developed, and if you water it too much, the seedlings will be washed down. Moreover, too much water will cause leggy growth and make the seedlings fall easily. The amount of watering should be controlled, and you can usually use the soaking method or spraying method to replenish water.

2. Lack of light: in the maintenance environment If the light is insufficient, the seedlings will easily grow leggy. Once leggy growth occurs, it will easily cause the seedlings to lodging. It is necessary to increase the light appropriately, but the light intensity should not be too high. If you are not careful, the strong light will sunburn the Gypsophila seedlings and slow down their growth.

3. Seedling density: Don’t plant too closely when planting. The seedlings will not grow very well. If they grow thinly, they will be more likely to fall over. Thinning should be carried out to keep a certain distance between the seedlings, so that they will grow very strong and be less likely to fall over.
