Hi there! Has anyone any good ideas of how to water small delicate seedlings indoors without bending or breaking them? I have a plastic mister, but I am not sure if they get wet enough with that....?

Do you mean outdoors in trays or in the ground. If in trays, stand the tray or pot in water so you water from below. If in the ground, te seedlings sould not rquire any extra water, if they do, gently water the soil around the seedlings,not the seedlings.I you'st to have a handle on the world .. but it BROKE!! -
lakeland plastics do mini watering roses that you can fit on a bottle of water, they are fab! Will see if I can find a link.
EDIT: here you go.....

Think I've seen them in garden centres as well, they are very good but I also like the little brass mister that somebody bought me for Christmas.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

I use the bottle top waterers for seedlings and they are quite effective.
It is sometimes good to put the tray or pots into shallow water and let the compost soak up as much as it wants - leave it for an hour or so then get rid of the excess. Make sure they can drain properly.
Remember not to keep seedlings wet. Damp-moist is best.Comment

another vote for the bottle top waterers (though theyre expensive for what they are!)... otherwise water from the bottom.Comment
