How to grow seedlings of pepper without the pick. For the lazy, as I
Dive pepper or not? Some recommendations for growing seedlings cultures procedure costs must-see destination. The other says that the sweet peppers perfectly grow without picks and healthy root system is obtained without removing part of the root. My experience has shown that dive - not necessarily!
Then there are 2 options:
1. First sow the seeds in a common container. Then, when the time comes, carefully cross the seedlings into individual pots. I like to use plastic for seedlings. Not willing to spend? Written material about the capacity of the available tools: 5 economical containers for seedlings "of garbage"
2. Sow peppers directly in individual pots. Well, if their volume is about 1 liter: so the plants have enough space before transplanting to a permanent place of residence. I first sow pepper in small plastic cups. Then, when the roots entangle the whole lump of earth, we have, once again, be transplanted into a container larger volume.
One year I tried an experiment on the advice from the Internet. The bottom line is this: we plant a seed in a pot 2, and then - choose the strongest, but the weakest link - tearing. I do not like this method, because it is not much difference seen between the seedlings!
And now quickly go through the other tips, important for growing seedlings of pepper without the pick:
- I try to put in time to be late and not to grow sprouts. Timing depends on the climate zone. From my own experience I will write information on the North-West: in early March sow pepper, which in the future will be transplanted into the greenhouse.
And the one that is used for planting in open ground under the film - later: in the middle of the first month of spring or even at its end (the last option for early maturing varieties). And when you are planting peppers? Write in the comments at the end.
- Before planting, be sure to soak the seeds in water from melted snow. This is my mandatory fad. I thawed snow, heat water to a temperature slightly above room and soak it in the fabric. I wrap pepper seeds a day, leaving in a warm place. For example, I put in the open box and put next to the battery.
- About grounds. I buy a universal primer for seedlings. Young plants develop in it, like a weed, because it is balanced. In it there are micro and macro elements.
Of course, you can make a soil mixture and most, adding a bit of humus for fertility.
- 2 weeks before planting to its rightful place I start to harden the seedlings. First I stand on the street or in a greenhouse in the warmest hours 60-120 minutes. Gradually, the duration of trips increasing - very young pepper to the liking of fresh air. A hardening procedure shifts the clock in the morning or evening - as it allows employment. Since the time of planting in a greenhouse or in the garden plants are partly prepared for the local climate.
- And now - the most important thing.
handling method. I use it when the transplant young seedlings into a large bowl and a permanent place. Gently crushes the plant pot walls and very smoothly We reach pepper with a clod of earth. Destroy it is not necessary! Just put on a new place, and filled the void ground. When transplanted into a new capacity - at the bottom make a layer of soil about 2-3 cm.
