So that aster seeds sprout for 2-3 days, what to do

Today is April 10th. It's time to plant asters for seedlings. From the container I took the lid from under the cake, since all the other containers are occupied by seedlings of tomatoes and peppers.

At the bottom of the lid, I poured 3-5 cm of purchased land (it's good that they were allowed to open gardening shops from April 8, I ran for the ground at a run). The soil can be mixed with calcined sand, as asters love loose and light soil.

After filling the container with earth, the soil mixture should be tamped a little a little to level the surface, and the seeds lay flat on it.

I have 2 bags of seeds of these flowers for planting. These are Chinese Aster Dragon Select Fawn and Dragon Select Carmine. This variety forms a pyramidal bush up to 60-70 cm high. On the plant, up to 10-12 cm of peduncles with a diameter of up to 12 cm are formed.

Since there will be 2 colors of the same variety for sowing, I decided to divide the surface of the lid with the earth with a cardboard. I spilled the earth from above with boiling water to avoid the appearance of infection on the seedlings.

She scattered seeds on the surface of the soil, taking them out of bags.

Then she covered the crops on top with cling film. But you can use a transparent plastic bag.

You need to put the container in a warm place (under the lamp, near the battery and oven).

Forgermination temperature must be at least 20 degrees (preferably + 22- + 25 degrees).

After seed germination, the container must be placed in a well-lit place (on the windowsill).

In this way, you can sow marigolds and zinnias. The effect will be the same.

Seedlings can be planted 40-50 days after germination. Planting pattern 15 by 20 cm. Soil temperature by this time should be + 16- + 18 degrees.

Asters love fertile soil, light loamy soils with a pH of 5.5-6.5 and well-lit areas. They are fed with complex fertilizers with a predominance of nitrogen. Therefore, you need to pay attention to these conditions when growing asters.
