  5. When the seedlings germinate, you need to spray it a little less often.
  6. Thin out seedlings to make room for root development.Leave the containers outside for a while so that the forget-me-not gets used to the temperature.
  7. For planting seeds outdoors, work and clear the soil of weeds.

The soil should be nutrient-rich, well drained and moist.

The problem may be that forget-me-nots are freezing all over the garden. In this case, you can cut off the seed heads from the plant.
