Any seedlings are very gentle natural creatures. But flower seedlings require a particularly caring attitude. And gardeners who are fond of flower cultivation very often encounter a problem when improper picking of seedlings of flowers leads to the death of seemingly well-grown seedlings. We address this article to those who are interested in the correct picking and seedlings of flowers and other seedlings.
We dwell in detail on how the pickling of seedlings of flowers is made. Most of them have a very vulnerable and weak root system. These include the popular petunia, fragrant fragrant tobacco, amazingly beautiful snapdragon, cochia, phlox and other flowers that give us joy with their splendor, if you look after them correctly. Here they must be dived into special separate pots, so that when transplanting into the ground, you can simply break the container and pull out the seedlings from there along with the ground, so as not to disturb the root system again. And such cultures. Like dahlias, asters, salvia, and others that have sufficiently strong rhizomes, you can immediately transplant them to their place of permanent residence in a garden or greenhouse, making a preliminary pick in ordinary boxes. There are also such varieties of flowers, the picking of seedlings of which is recommended in groups in one hole. The fact is that, for example, alissum, lobelia and other varieties of some flowering plants are thus well accepted, as if supporting each other's root system.
Proper picking of plants involves taking into account the fact that after seedling, some seedlings can heal due to excessive stretching of the cotyledons. To avoid this, you need to deepen the seedlings to cotyledon leaves. And if you notice that the plant continues to stretch the sub-cotyledonous knee after it has already practically taken on the place of its main habitat, then you will have to worry about sprinkling seedlings to the cotyledonous leaves with the soil mixture.
A successful picking of seedlings of flowers depends on how well the lighting received the seeds from which the seedlings are grown. If there was little lighting, then there is a problem with the lodging of plants after planting.
And, of course, an important factor is the temperature of the room where the seedlings are growing. It is difficult to create an optimal air temperature for all plants. Therefore, when planting, you need to sort the seeds of heat-loving flowers and separate them from those that grow well at lower temperatures. Having planted them in separate boxes, you can easily rearrange them from place to place, lowering or raising the temperature background. For example, aggregatum and railing grow well at room temperature, 18 degrees of heat are enough for asters and petunias, and viola and allspice tobacco feel great at temperatures up to 15 degrees. By creating such conditions, you will get hardened and healthy plants and picking seedlings will pass without any problems.
Pickling flower seedlings should be done in a timely manner. You cannot be late with this process. The pick begins when the first leaves appear on the plants. The seedling neatly with a lump of earth is separated from the box and carefully and carefully transferred to the dive tank. The earth in the dishes should be moist, and after some time after the dive, the seedling is sprinkled with soil to the required place so that the sub-cotyledon knee does not stretch excessively, and is watered. As a tool, so as not to damage the weak root system, you can use a manicure kit that you no longer use.
After that, before planting in the ground, they require three meals a day. After two to three weeks, you can fertilize the soil with a complex mineral fertilizer, then after another 10 days (twice) use the special Uniflor micro composition.
Growing and picking seedlings is exciting. If you do not have time for this lesson, you can buy good seedlings in specialized stores.
