Do seedlings need heat after germination?
Seeds do not need that cyclical cooling to sprout, however, and in fact they will germinate more quickly with constant warmth. So leave the seed-starting heat mat on all the time. Question: Do I keep it on after the seeds have sprouted? Answer: No.
How do you keep seedlings moist?
You want seedlings to be kept moist but not wet and never allowed to dry out completely. This most often translates to watering the soil for your seedlings at least once per day, if not more often. A spray bottle is a good way to water your seedlings and keep the soil moist without letting it get too wet.
How do we care for seedlings answer?
First, get the plant in direct sunlight if at all possible. Stop watering until the surface is very dry. Water only from the bottom. Scrape as much of the mold off the soil as possible.
How do you protect newly planted seedlings?
Floating row covers. If there are rows or groups of plants to protect, using something called a floating row cover can offer some protection. This is a large piece of lightweight spun-bonded polyester or finely woven material. It acts as an overnight barrier between the cold air and the tender plants.
