I have 1" tall seedlings growing, but they don't look so good. They are 2
weeks old.
I was afraid I was overwatering them, but due to their condition I've changed
my mind. A couple of the seedlings are bent over and a couple died. At first
I thought that it was because I was keeping the soil too damp so I haven't
watered them in 3 days. Right now the soil feels cool, but not wet (kind of
like fresh potting soil in the bag--slightly more moist).
I'm not sure how damp soil should be kept for seedlings (apparently delicate
one).
How wet should the soil be and what is a general rule-of-thumb for watering
very young plants?
Sorry to ask, but I need a response asap so I can bring them back to life. :)
