The process of planting seedlings is a very crucial matter, since the level of quality of the crop will also depend on the level of quality of the seeds. Initially, it may seem that to plant seedlings acquired somewhere-this is a very simple matter. It is enough just to find boxes and soil, purchase seeds in some store, place them in the ground, pour water-and expect a successful result.
In fact, the seedlings need more painstaking care, and many points in the course of cultivation depend on the variety of vegetation. It is necessary to clearly understand that different plants need different care and temperature indicators, as well as periods of landing and germination. The seedlings that have grown up with the use of a spent method will feel great in the ground and provide a good crop in the future. A well -placed home seedlings will be much less subject to various diseases, they will have a more solid roots system.
Cassettes for seedlings: pots and special nutrient cubes I personally bought on the site «Smoke Garden City Plus» here
Gardeners with sufficient experience do not recommend too much to rush with the sowing procedure. Large seedlings are more difficult to carry the landing in the surface of the open soil and is extremely unfavorable, for this reason it is necessary to clearly withstand specific sowing time. This can be done using the so -called lunar calendar.
For transplanting vegetation, it is quite possible to purchase very convenient containers. Currently, there are extremely many on sale. These are modern plastic pots, peat containers, cassettes with special cells for mass seedlings, as well as high -quality nutrient cubes.
Since any plant needs warmth and light, seedlings of seedlings must be placed on the windowsill. Seedlings can easily be hardened by transferring it to the sunny and cool room, where there is no heating. But, at night, seedlings must be carefully protected from unwanted frost. In addition to natural light, you can also use artificial, thus increasing the «daylight».
If all the above conditions are met, then the seedlings will always be strong and very hardy. With all this, the vegetation will be covered with thick foliage and will start to bloom quite early. If peat pots or nutrient cubes were used to place seedlings, then the landing can be done later, with the arrival of warmer weather.
What soil is needed?
Earth, which should be used for seedlings, must necessarily have elements that need vegetation. You can also mix humus and earth in equal proportions, adding mineral water and ash to this mixture. The earth is recommended to use loose, light, turf. In order to get the necessary composition, one part of sand, sod soil and two parts of a good humus is taken.
The earth must be watered abundantly before sowing, wait for time to absorb the liquid. After that, it is necessary to create small grooves (three to four millimeters) in which you need to place seeds. Using a sieve, these seeds must be sprinkled with a five -mileytic earthen layer, after which the earth needs to be pressed with a palm. For an early germination, temperature indicators of the room at 17-22 degrees Celsius will be required. Until the seeds have been spent, you need to cover the box with plywood or cardboard. After the shoots appear, the box must be moved to a cooler room with sufficient lighting with a temperature of 7-8 degrees to plant cabbage, 12-15 degrees for heat-loving vegetation (eggplant, cucumbers, peppers).
