The ground planting environment is the most natural for plant growth, and once planted, it basically does not require much care.
After the seedlings have adapted for 1 month, you can water them with nutrient solutions or compound fertilizers. Start with a diluted solution once a month, and stop when the temperature exceeds 28 degrees Celsius.
In autumn, when the temperature drops, you can continue to fertilize the seedlings with sheep manure, chicken manure, pig manure, or continue with nutrient solutions or urea. If the soil is fertile, fertilization may not be necessary.
