We create conditions
Lighting
From a design point of view, the window sill will look more impressive if you use a spotlight. For this purpose, LED bulbs are best suited. They can be directed from above or from the sides so as to illuminate the windowsill and flowers from the side of the room, or use a floor lamp suitable for the interior of the room. Such lighting in the evening will create the illusion of a picture - a kind of still life with plants against a dark background and fulfill its direct purpose - to lengthen a short daylight hours.
Capacities
Initially, we select rooms that are suitable for the design of the room. Pots, containers, hanging planters, in various shapes and colors, can be easily found in any specialty store. Ceramic and plastic are suitable. The containers can be decorated to match the design of the room, using washable wallpaper, decoupage technique and other decorative techniques. It makes sense to work a little and realize your talents in home design. Seedlings are grown in small containers to prevent soil acidification.
Temperature regime
Garden plants are not afraid of drafts, the flow of free air is only good for them. Their great resistance to temperature fluctuations is also genetically predetermined. But since zinnias, asters, violets are heat-loving plants, you should not abuse the low temperature and lower it below 15-16 ° C.
Priming
You can buy ready-made soil or prepare it yourself. The mixture should be light and fertile and consist of equal parts of peat and humus (leaf or dung). If we use heavier soil, add sand and charcoal to the substrate. We steam for at least half an hour.

When growing seedlings, it is necessary to carefully examine it, as often as possible and subject it to processing at the first signs of damage.

Planting and further care
Soak the seeds of aster, violet or zinnia in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for several hours. Place the seeds 1 to 2 cm deep in the potting mix. Seedlings appear within a week. At this time, we water it very carefully: seedlings with a still weak root system and an undeveloped crown are vulnerable to various infections. We start feeding from 2 weeks of age with complex mineral fertilizers and repeat it every 2 weeks, alternating with organic fertilizers. Shortly before flowering, we apply fertilizers with a high content of phosphorus and magnesium.
After a month, counting from the germination of seeds, we transplant the seedlings to a permanent place, deepening the stem to form additional roots.
Asters, petunias, geraniums, or rather their modern varieties, do not need to be pinched. The violet itself forms creeping bushes that occupy the entire space. Zinnias are not pinched when growing at home - this way the bud will form faster.
