I always take a piece of wire and twist it around a chop stick to make a spiral of about 3 rings, with a straight end and put the straight end in the soil with the spiral around the seedling to support it, without constricting it. Before that, my seedlings always got stem rot and flopped over. After a couple weeks I just untwist the wire when the plant doesn't need it any more.
polycultiv Reviewed by polycultiv on . I didnt know it was this easy to mess up!! Ok so my sprout is at Day 8 and it was looking pretty healthy, but I put an oscillating fan on last night and I wake up this morning and it's toppled over! I put some pieces of pearlite underneath it to support it a little. It's not dead but I don't know what to do to save my little guy!!!any ideas? Rating: 5
