When sowing seeds that were mixed in a substrate like peat or sand after chilling, what should generally be avoided?
Answer
Washing off all the substrate material.
After removal, seeds mixed in a medium should generally be sown directly into their final pots, still lightly covered with the chilling medium; avoiding washing off all the substrate helps the seed settle into its new environment.
