3 simple tricks and shoots of Petunia no longer fall - I'm telling about my experience

Many flower lovers cannot imagine their plots without petunias. There are many varieties of this plant. And each of them wants to buy and plant.

I, too, can not resist any new kind of beauty. But the first years of my floriculture were unsuccessful - in a day the shoots of petunia died.

Found out the cause of the problem. These are fungi - Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Olpidium. They destroy seedlings. Having studied all the agricultural techniques for growing petunias, I realized that the problem can be solved. Found salvation.

The basis is compliance with the rules of agricultural technology when growing a plant. Three main manipulations help me get excellent petunia seedlings.

The first

Shoots have appeared. They are in an isolated space. Oxygen is not delivered to plants. This is the reason for the appearance of negative biochemical processes.

Sifted wood ash will help to cope with it. I immediately sprinkle it on the ground. This component is an excellent adsorbent. It "collects in a heap" all the substances that harm cellular respiration and plant nutrition.

If there is no ash on hand, I use activated carbon. Sense it into a fine powder and sprinkle them with seedlings. The procedure is important. Don't ignore her.

The second

After sowing the seeds, we tamp them and cover them with foil. They are in this state for a week. Carbon dioxide and other air constituents accumulate inside.

After the green sprouts have appeared, the roots lack oxygen. The plant may die. To prevent this from happening, we take a toothpick and carefully, at a distance of five millimeters from the shoots, pierce the soil.

Insert the stick and pull it out. Make ten to fifteen punctures around one plant.

The third is for prevention

Vermiculite is required. The primer is powdered with ash and punctured. In order to increase the flow of oxygen, the aforementioned agent is necessary. They are poured over the surface of the soil (in a thin layer). It not only removes excess water, but also gives it to plants without any problems.

This procedure is an excellent preventive measure. Thanks to her, all seedlings are protected from the "black leg".

Conclusion

These three methods will help you grow healthy and strong seedlings. All of the above actions should be performed in the first two days after germination. It doesn't matter if some of them are still in the box. These procedures will not harm them.
