Seedling plants sometimes begin to wilt and die, causing concern among gardeners.
In addition to scientific explanations, there are folk signs and superstitions that can explain why deaths occur.
Of course, folk signs are often intertwined with rational reasons, said Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Poor soil or lack of nutrients
According to popular belief, if seedlings begin to die, this may indicate poor soil quality or a lack of important nutrients.
Of course, this reason is quite rational, because a lack of nutrients in the soil is the most common cause of plant death.
Influence of unfavorable energies
Some people believe that seedlings may die due to the influence of negative energies or evil spirits.
In this case, you can perform various rituals for cleaning. Also, do not forget about the banal maintenance of order.
An unkind look or envy
There is a belief that seedlings can die under the influence of envy or an evil look.
It is no coincidence that experienced gardeners try to hide their seedlings from prying eyes.
And if someone else looked at the seedlings and they began to gradually wither, then it makes sense to perform a cleansing ritual.
Disrespect for plants
According to some folk beliefs, seedlings can react to disrespectful treatment. Superstitions advise to care for plants with love and attention.
A simple example: if you show aggression towards plants, they can gradually die. Many summer residents always take good care of their seedlings and even try to talk to them.
Lack of order
It all starts with basic order. If you don't maintain order while growing seedlings, then according to folk signs, they may start to die.
There is also a rational component, because the lack of order can cause diseases in plants.
