The best time to plant Asters for seedlings. Create a beautiful flower garden on your site
Since childhood, I love this beautiful flower. I still have associations from the bouquets made of these flowers when we went to school on Knowledge Day. After all, these varied and bright flowers delight the eye until the deepest autumn.
Of course, this flower is unpretentious to care for. But, you still need to know when to plant it for seedlings. Next, I will tell you about these terms and some of the rules for leaving.
It is advisable to plant already sufficiently matured plant specimens in open ground. In addition, only those plants that have reached a height of 10 centimeters are suitable for such a planting.
Therefore, you need to take care of the seedlings in advance. But you can't keep seedlings in the house for too long. Indeed, if it outgrows, then a beautiful and abundant flowering can not be expected.
The most optimal time to start sowing seeds is the beginning of April.
What items and tools do I use to get good seedlings.
· Wooden container or peat cups.
· Good soil with fertilizers.
· High quality seeds.
· Seed disinfection solution, I usually use ordinary potassium permanganate.
· Glass to create a greenhouse effect.
· Watering can with a spray.
How do I care for seedlings
· I make sure that the temperature in the room is not high.
· I regularly ventilate the room with seedlings to avoid decay processes.
· I adjust the light level to prevent the seedlings from pulling out. My seedlings are on the table near the window. There is enough light. But, when there are cloudy days, I turn on special phyto lamps.
· I regularly inspect plants in order to identify the presence of diseases or pests in time.
· I spray the seedlings and prevent the accumulation of excess liquid.
If the seedlings have already grown stronger and grown, this does not mean that they can be immediately planted in open ground. A hardening process is required. I take the cups with the plants outside.
At first, the time interval when they are on the street is 10 minutes. I gradually increase the time. And when the frost is over, I can leave the seedlings outside even at night.
But there are also people who sow seeds directly into the ground, this can be done only in the second half of May, not earlier.
If the seedlings have taken root well, then the asters will repay you for your care with their beauty and riot of colors. Once the plant has taken root, it does not require difficult maintenance.
