1. Unsuitable environment

2. Insufficient maintenance

3. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied

The gourd seedlings may not grow because the environment in which they are raised is too cold or dark. At this time, you need to move it to a warm, diffused light location for maintenance, and wait for it to resume growth. It may also be caused by not watering or fertilizing for a long time. At this time, it is necessary to increase the frequency of watering or fertilizing it to provide moisture and nutrients to help it resume growth. When fertilizing, it is recommended to use a diluted compound fertilizer containing more nitrogen elements.

1. Unsuitable environment

1. Reason: The gourd seedlings have stopped growing. It may be because the environment where they are raised is too cold, or the lighting conditions on the balcony are too poor, preventing them from continuing to grow.

2. Treatment method: At this time, the environmental conditions need to be changed. If the temperature is very low, you need to move it into a warm room and keep the temperature at around 20°C. If the lighting conditions are too poor, you need to move it to a place in the house with scattered light.

2. Poor maintenance

1. Reason: Its growth requires a certain amount of water and nutrient support. Not watering for a long time will cause a lack of water in the soil, making it unable to continue growing. Not fertilizing for a long time will lead to insufficient nutrients in the soil, thus hindering its growth.

2. Treatment method: If it is caused by not watering for a long time, it needs to be replenished with water in time to keep its soil slightly moist. If it is caused by not fertilizing for a long time, you can pour some thin fertilizer solution on it to replenish nutrients.

3. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied

During the seedling stage, it is necessary to apply compound fertilizer containing more nitrogen elements to the gourd. Because the seedling stage is an important period for it to grow branches and leaves. Therefore, applying some flower fertilizer with higher nitrogen content can make it grow better. When applying fertilizer, the fertilizer should be applied relatively close to the plants. Fertilizer needs to be diluted before application.
