How to grow seedlings

Sowing seeds begins 2 months before planting seedlings in the ground. Pre-prepare the soil, consisting of an equal amount of sod land and humus. The prepared soil must be disinfected with boiling water or by roasting in the oven for 10 minutes. After cultivation, the soil is poured into planting containers. It can be planted both in common wooden boxes and in individual containers: plastic glasses or peat pots.

Before sowing, the seeds, like the soil, are treated with disinfecting solutions. The easiest and most affordable option is saline solution. 1 g of salt is diluted in 100 ml of water and grains are placed in it for 1 day.

The seeds are laid to a depth of 1 cm, the distance between them is 2 cm. Then they are covered with a small amount of soil and moistened with warm settled water using a spray bottle. The containers are covered with foil and left in a dark and warm room at a temperature of 25 degrees.

After 3-4 days, the first shoots appear, after which the film is removed and the containers are rearranged in a lighted place. Daylight hours for seedlings should be at least 12 hours. If necessary, additional lighting is illuminated with phytolamps.

Water the seedlings as the top layer of the soil dries up. For irrigation, use warm, settled water, which moisten the edges of the nursery with tablespoons or a shallow watering can.

A pick is carried out when 2-3 true leaves appear. If the seedlings were planted in a common box, then during the pick they are seated in separate containers.

2 weeks before transplanting into the ground, the seedlings begin to harden. To do this, the planting containers are taken out into the street and left for 2-3 hours, gradually increasing this interval to 16 hours. In parallel with daytime hardening, the temperature in the room where the seedlings are located at night is reduced to 13 degrees.
