Add this when propagating flower seedlings to effectively prevent rot and damping-off

Many friends sow seeds for propagation in spring. Many flower seeds germinate successfully, but the seedlings struggle to grow, and many seedlings rot or fall over. The item below can solve these troubles.

Cinnamon powder has a very good antifungal effect, and it smells fresh and natural. Using cinnamon powder to stop fungal diseases in seedlings is very effective.

We often see grayish-white fungus forming on the stems of seedlings. This is all because the soil carries pathogens, or because the sterilization work was not done well.

Fungal growth is generally caused by a humid environment. Most fungal diseases spread through water. Seedlings need a moist environment, so they are very prone to developing the disease.

1. Use cinnamon powder to stop fungal diseases

If you want to keep the soil at proper moisture but avoid the soil surface being overly wet, you can use cinnamon powder.

Also, when watering, pay attention to watering from the bottom of the seedling tray. This means using the soaking method, letting water slowly seep up from the bottom of the tray so the soil becomes completely moist without causing waterlogging.

Seedling stems have rotted

When growing seedlings, you can combine the two methods, and this can effectively avoid fungal diseases.

In addition, you can also sterilize and disinfect the seeds. This can prevent the seedlings from being infected by fungal diseases after germination and improve the seedlings' ability to resist diseases.

2. How to use

The method for using cinnamon powder is very simple. Directly sprinkle the cinnamon powder on the infected seedlings. This can directly kill the fungus and stop the disease, and it can also address some potential fungal diseases.

At the very beginning when sowing, you can mix cinnamon powder into the soil, which provides a certain preventive effect.

From the picture above, we can see that these seedlings are at risk of fungal infection. The white fuzz on them is fungus.

3. Preparation before sowing

Before sowing, be sure to sterilize and disinfect the seedling tray and soil. You can directly water once with a carbendazim solution, which can effectively prevent fungal diseases.

4. Improving the environment

Also, pay attention to improving the environment, keep the surrounding environment clean, and avoid water accumulation. In addition, pay attention to maintaining ventilation, controlling humidity to a certain degree, and providing a bright light environment.

Master the above tips, and in the future when you sow and propagate this kind of flower plant, you can have a higher success rate. After the seedlings germinate, they can also grow up healthily, and growing flowers will become easier.
