Watering seedlings and young plants in a greenhouse can be daunting. There is one technique I have used that can take some of the fear away, and other gardeners also advocate for it. That is to use capillary matting as a self-watering system for plants.
Using this flexible, absorbent material in a greenhouse offers a fool proof way of efficiently watering plants. There is no fear of plants drying out or being killed by overwatering, as the capillary matting keeps them all consistently moist and healthy. It is suitable for a wide range of plants, including seedlings, and a capillary matting watering system is easy to install.
