    I had four seedlings, but one of them died off due to a fungus (we believe). So, I was trying to keep the ones I had left alive, but those weren't getting any better. Then, I heard about a remedy: sprinkle cinnamon lightly on the top of the soil. But, I was too late. The fungus killed off my seedlings and I had to pull them up. Maybe if I had done the cinnamon trick before, my seedlings would've survived.
