There are lots of places where you can find information about seedlings. The pages in this guide includes links to many places where you can find this information.
Regardless of where you are searching, you will want to be as specific as you can with your search terms to help you find the best articles. At a minimum, your searches should include your type of seedling and the experimental variable you are exploring. If the name of your seedling or your experimental variable is a phrase (two or more words), put it in quotes for best results
