Welcome!
Can you give more details about the type of soil you use. After germinating in the wet wipes, I put the seeds directly into the soil and I can say that it very rarely happens that they dry out, one in a few hundred.

Soil from my yard.

That's your problem, you want good soil while they are little. And best to not bring soil from outside inside.

Also, you know we also have a Romanian subforum here on the forum, right?

I should've bought the soil with a certain ph?

Greetings and welcome to ICMag forums!
If you must use soil from outside you should choose clean soil, and sterilize by baking in your oven.
Buying soil is preferred since sterilized and some add beneficial ingredients and/or time released nutrients. The best soils are mixed by the grower, adding what's needed for a full grow cycle.

The above posters are correct about the soil. I have had trouble with "damping Off" before when I used some soilless from the patio grow from the last year which sat around all year. The "damping off" is caused by various types of fungus which kill off the new seedling before it grows out of the soil (some times after it grows out of the soil). The easiest fix is to buy a bag of good potting soil.

And also much harder to keep plants happy with just the right level of moisture in bad soil. Especially for a begginer. A fluffy soil that is very aerated with help very much with that.

Hey 50 welcome to Icmag!

You have come to the right place and i see that you are getting great advice.

Just as some say make sure your soil is not heavy (like a clay type of soil), the soil should be fluffy and do not pack and push your soil in pots rather fill it very gently so that the roots can develop easier and not be stressed by heavy soil. Do not water too often as well, as you could end up with root rot. Just stick your finger in soil and if the soil feels dry for like 5-7cm then you could water. Also try to water more on the extremities of the pot in seedling stage, that will force the plant to reach for water thus better root development. You could also from time to time supplement your young seedlings with Aloe vera tea or lentil sprout tea (it has auxins that act as natural growth hormone).
Well I hope this helps a bit and lots of great people here will help you whenever you need it.
Good luck and feel free to share pics whenever possible
