At this time, the interval between the plants should be more than 5 cm. Soil should be cultivated around the roots after the seedlings to prevent the seedlings from lodging. In the seedlings, the requirements for light are relatively strict, lack of light will affect the synthesis and accumulation of photosynthates, its root expansion will be blocked, slow, poor quality, it is necessary to ensure more than 12 hours of light every day in order to bloom normally.
