WHY ARE MY SEEDLINGS DEAD? If you’re using tap water, it probably most definitely has chlorine in it. Seedling are very tender plants and they die easily. To remove chlorine from the water, put tap water in an open container and the chlorine gases will evaporate. You now have non chlorinated water to give to your seedlings. #water #garden #gardenlife #greenthumb #seedling #GrowWithBecky
