Subject: Damping off

There are many ways to prevent damping-off in seedlings and I and many of my American Rhododendron Society friends wouldn't think of starting seeds without approximately 3/8" to 1/2" of either milled sphagnum or long fiber sphagnum moss on top of the medium. The long fiber sphagnum is the type sometimes used to line hanging baskets. Just about any medium will do if you use the sphagnum as above. I am using this method for rhodo. and azalea seed propagation as well as literally dozens of native plants here in Western North Carolina. Nothing Can be as simple as this tried and true method so put away all the sprays and special additives and make your propagation as easy as possible.      AzaleaEd
