Seedlings

Hi Everyone

Sowed some seeds last weekend in a heated propagator and in seed trays,now that some of the seeds have started to shoot, my question is do i turn of the heat to the propagator and remove the lids from the seed trays?
Thank you in advance

It really depends on the size of the seedlings, they are prone to drying out if you remove the lid too quickly.If they have just emerged , leave them covered, if they are 1in or so high they might be ok. If they are in direct sunlight they'll wilt. I would leave them till they have two true leaves to be on the safe side.

 

thank you very much, i think i will leave the propagator on for another couple of days and the lids till i get at least 2 sets of leaves
