In general, it is best for seeds to be sowed one or two days after they are taken out, when the seeds have more moisture and strong vitality, and the emergence rate of seeds placed for too long will be affected.

It is best to water the seedlings with spraying in the early stage, which can not only increase humidity, but also prevent excessive water from scouring the seed seedlings. Leave it in a semi-overcast place for a few days.
