Hello gardeners! We are Peter and Albena from @gradinatomatina and in this video we will look at the causes of tomato seedling elongation and give you practical advice on how to prevent it. Elongation of seedlings is a common problem faced by many gardeners. It can be caused by a number of factors, including: Insufficient lighting: Tomatoes need a lot of light to grow well. If your seedlings are grown indoors, it is important to provide them with sufficient artificial light. Temperature that is too warm: Temperatures that are too hot can stimulate the elongation of the stems. Maintain the optimal temperature for tomato seedlings, which is around 18-20°C. Overwatering: Overwatering can cause root rot and retard seedling growth. Water your seedlings only when the soil is dry to the touch. Unsuitable soil: Use nutrient-rich, well-drained soil for tomato seedlings. Insufficient air circulation: Poor air circulation can contribute to seedling elongation. Provide good ventilation in the place where the seedlings are grown. How to avoid tomato seedling elongation: Provide enough light: Place the seedling in a place where it will receive plenty of sunlight. If necessary, supplement with artificial light. Maintain optimum temperature: Maintain temperature for tomato seedlings around 18-20°C. Water sparingly: Water your seedlings only when the soil is dry to the touch. Use the right soil: Use nutrient-rich, well-drained soil for tomato seedlings. Provide good air circulation: Provide good ventilation in the place where the seedlings are grown. By following these simple tips, you can avoid stunting your tomato seedlings and enjoy healthy, productive plants. #living #garden #gardening #cleanfood #vegetables #greenhouse #seedlings
