Seeds as dust. Methods landing snapdragons, lobeline, Ageratum

Specificity planting small seeds of snapdragons, lobelia, ageratum is not much different from planting petunias, strawberry, Calibrachoa. And it is best to sow them with snow.

In snapdragon seeds are very small (like dust). And it shoots the same small and thin. To produce the pick is not very convenient, compared with petunias seedlings snapdragons does not tolerate transplanting.

Planting plants (snapdragon, lobelia and ageratum) in two ways: with or without subsequent sparring it.

With transfer

For this method suitable food containers. But this soil layer should not be less than 5 cm tall. They also make the drainage holes, and the bottom is filled with vermiculite. Then poured the soil in the container. Soils must be sealed before sowing, the surface is smooth. Next, throw the soil Chemical fertilizers "fitosporin" or "Trichoderma" for instructions. Allow to stand pochvosmesi night. If you will be using the snow, it is necessary to settle the soil a couple of days, that was not waterlogged.

The soil should be chosen quality: loose and smooth, without the various inclusions. This is important when sowing small seeds. It is better to buy a flower or a universal primer for seedlings.

Snow should be no more than 1 cm (the benefit this year plenty of snow in the middle lane). Otherwise you have in the container will be a swamp, then there will be water, after the snow has melted layer.

Seeds need to scatter evenly over the surface of the soil right out of the bag. Absorb the seeds do not need anything. Next, cover the container and pack to put on a cool windowsill. When the snow has melted, transferred to a warm bright place, where the temperature should not fall below + 20 to + 22 degrees.

Once the seedlings reach the 2-3 true leaves phase, followed by its raspikirovat over separate containers. Lobelia, for example, diving a few pieces in the cups.

without picks

For planting, you can use disposable cups or cassettes. In each container (glasses) is necessary to make drain holes. At the bottom pour vermiculite as a drainage material. Next, pour the universal soil and leveled in the cup surface of the soil. The soil should be disinfected, as the first method.

Then pour the snow layer is not more than 1 cm. Pour the seeds into the saucer, dip them one finger, move the snow, pointing to the center of the cup. Put the cups on a tray, cover with a bag and put in a bright, cool place.

If left cover of the cake, you can put it under the cups.

Once the snow has melted, put in a bright warm place. Usually in February, still illuminated fitolamp. The seeds germinated at a temperature of not less than 20 degrees. Then, the ambient temperature must be slightly lower for the development of seedlings.

Crops need to be aired every day and spend watering during desiccation. Once you can hold fertilizer complex fertilizer.
