Damping-off is a common issue, especially during the seeding season. It is a fungal disease that tends to spread in high humidity environments. It can cause the roots and stems of seedlings to rot, making them unable to survive.
Some methods to prevent Damping-off include:
Using sterilized seed trays and soil
Avoiding overwatering, keeping soil moderately moist
Providing good ventilation
Planting hardy varieties
