5 golden rules seeding eustomy π Note florist (in due time)
Grow difficult, but possible! Eustoma - yes, not the easiest flowers to grow. But it is because many growers do not know how to approach the seeds of tender beauty. In this publication you will find advice on how to achieve success and flaunt photo abundant flowering)
π not to sow deep
Aust as petunia, lightly sprinkle the ground or simply spread out on the soil surface. Because sprouted seedlings are very delicate and are unlikely to be able to successfully overcome the soil column. And why create unnecessary difficulties charmer?
Pre-moisten the soil π
Whatever soil you use, make sure that, to the time of sowing, he was wet. Because then, spilling or spraying the soil, you can unwittingly carry away the seeds to a depth of eustomy. They will sink with water drops.
I cook this way: mixed universal soil mix based on peat neutralized with vermiculite and perlite. I added a tablespoon of water, so that the soil can be blind to the lump. It is important to thoroughly mix everything, not to get a heterogeneous mess
π Jewelry work
eustomy seeds are very small. Therefore, they are usually sold in pills. It is necessary to manage to cope with the small things!
My experience: Take a cotton ball and moisten it. Pour the seeds - because of the structure of the material and its moisture, they will not rumblings. Take a toothpick and dip into the water, too. Touch the seed - and it will be exactly on the tip of a toothpick.
It will only have to put it to its rightful place.
π ideal conditions for growth
First stage - heat and moisture! It is better to remove the crops in teplichku and put in the warmest place in the house. I put a container under the battery. Light until it is needed! Teplichku if there is condensation, ventilated. If the ground is dried up - carefully, very carefully spray with an atomizer.
We are waiting for germination!
As outlined semyadolki, the main criterion for development is eustomy shine! On the windowsill healthy seedlings will not grow. You should definitely dosvechivat! Until there were 4-6 leaf (real) - round the clock. Yes, difficult, but the seedlings will be developed and strong.
π Sow time
The main reason for failure - a long growing season eustomy. Ie from seedling to bud opening takes a long time. It should be remembered that the poor lighting, power supply, the vicissitudes of the weather only retard the flowering period. And precisely because of this, then you can find ratings "bloom until September," "Do not have time before the frost to reveal buds."
Take note:
- Eustomy standard varieties require 7-9 months from germination to flowering. Therefore, to plant pleased in the middle of summer, it is sown in November and December, and even in October.
- But there is a fine pot (dwarf) varieties. They require much less - only 6 months. Sow in January - admire the middle of summer! This is a great outlet for those who have not had time to buy seeds... Nothing wrong. I'm sure - the beauty is not in height. Pot Eustoma looks good in pots and as a border plant.
