HOW MOIST SHOULD SOIL BE FOR SEEDLINGS?

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.

It’s important for your setup to include drainage so that excess water can drain away from your seedlings.

HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU WATER SEEDLINGS?

The soil seedlings grow in needs to be moist or wet but not too damp, and it should never dry out between waterings.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY SEEDLINGS NEED WATER?

Seedlings need water when the surface of the soil begins to become dry, but the soil should never be allowed to dry out completely. Check the moisture level by touching it with your finger at least twice per day, and you’ll probably need to water at least daily.

HOW MUCH SUN SHOULD MY PLANT GET?

Your seedlings should get the most amount of sun possible if planting indoors. Putting them in a sunny window will help them grow, but you may need to move them as the sun moves. If planting them outside, check the seed pack to see if your plant prefers shade or sun.
