Hi guys! i see the soil too compressed for me, too hard. I took a stick and i pricked the soil for creat little hole for oxigenate but i dont know if it is enough. Or if it is just a unnecessary worry. Any advice? (Later on i give water. Just waiting the sunset)

I don't think it's anything to worry about, magnumalessio... but when you water, make sure some water comes out the bottom of your pot - then you will know it has been watered enough. And be careful when poking holes in the soil that you do not poke too close to the plants... they're very young and small and will have delicate roots systems. Next time, it would be good to mix a lot more perlite into your soil so this doesn't happen. If these are going to be transplanted at some point, definitely make sure the pot has a goo 30% perlite in it! Good luck

As GrowingGrannie said looks fine, theres oxygen in the water and if water goes through and drips out the bottom then oxygen will be too just be sure to use a better mix ratio soil next time as said below, Good luck 🌱

Thanks a lot grannie!! I just bought the appropriate soil, so it should have perlita already. But touching the soil, it looked too hard.. so i was worried than plants in one point couldn’t breathe. Anyway good to know then its fine :D
