After sowing, cover a layer of 3-5 mm fine soil, not too deep, otherwise it will affect its normal germination, after sowing, keep the temperature at about 20 degrees, not too high or too low, low temperature to find ways to reduce the temperature, high temperature to strengthen ventilation, the seedling environment temperature will be reduced.
