Stretching

Because my seedling stretched a little during her first few days of life, is it safe to bury a small amount of her stem in the substrate when I transplant in a week or two? I'm using coco and perlite 70/30. Actually writing this down made me realize it's probably a stupid idea 🤣

Hi there! Yes you can absolutely do it and it is also advices to do so. When you bury the weak and stretched stem under the soil, you Will get shorter but sturdier plant. I would advice to bury right up until the cotyledons are only on the surface

Yes, u can do that. Maybe u can also create a "cage" until it grow stronger in case of more stretching.
