A little about the health of seedlings

Even in the time of purchase, you need to carefully examine the roots and shoots of seedlings liked. Dry and rotten roots - a bad sign. Well, if the plant has several branches. It will be easier to keep the seedling from which the shoots are living, but dormant (not yet hatched) kidneys.

Buying plants without inspection of the root system - the acquisition of "a pig in a poke." Arriving home, you need to get a sapling and critically evaluate her condition. There rot? Help (in any case, should help) fungicide "fundazol" and "Previkur Energy" in conjunction with the drying of seedlings. Means for processing the root system is used according to instructions.

By temperature. The optimum rate "in the middle of the hospital" - 2-5 ° C. Someone keeps in the basement, the other - on the glassed-in balcony. There are tips to put the seedling in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf. An extreme option, when there is no other option - to put the purchase in a darkened and the coolest corner of the house. It's better than nothing!

Soon the street definitively established zero temperature, and can be left there to purchase. The main thing is to make sure that the thermometer still not dropped below zero. Purchased for garden plants bare-root sub-zero temperatures can be fatal.

The second way universal. It is suitable for plants with dormant buds, and is preferred for seedlings hatched with green eyes.

We must take a pot slightly larger than the size of the root system and fill it with sand. It is important that the soil was infertile, otherwise the plant can go into growth earlier than expected and should be the gardener. Sand can be replaced neutralized peat.
