Timely watering and drainage:
Before the Shandougen seedlings emerge, water should be sprayed 1-2 times a day to keep the substrate in the nutrient cup moist.

Each time, the water should be sprayed thoroughly, preferably in the morning and evening, and avoid spraying under strong sunlight at noon and in the afternoon.
Pay attention to timely drainage during the rainy season to prevent water accumulation in the field, which may affect the growth of Shandougen seedlings.
Timely removal of weeds:

Fertilizer management:
During the vigorous growth season, spray 0.2% urea and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate alternately three times to promote the growth and lignification of seedlings, with an interval of 7-10 days.
