Tender cauliflower plant broken
Hi,
I started Burpee’s cauliflower seeds indoor on 21st February, 2009 in peat moss strips with the soil less media (50% peat moss + 50% vermiculite). I kept them in 68 F next to my window. The germination took place in 4 days. During the last 4 weeks it grown up to 3 to 4 inches height with only 2 small leaves and yesterday it just broken down half-way & died. The stem was hair thin and that caused the plant to brake, I believe. What is wrong with my indoor setup? I took care of it really well. Thanks in advance.

There are a number of other things you can do, but direct sunlight plus good air circulation does wonders in preventing fungus. |

You need to move them progressively into strong light, then part sun, then full sun. Cauilflower is not an indoor plant. David |
