Sow the seeds of petunias in the snow or under the snow

There are various options for planting petunias. Recently I talked about the unusual way of planting seeds dark, including petunias, mixing them with chalk. I'll tell you about another method as planting petunias in the snow.

What you need

ordinary universal primer;

Plastic container;

petunia seeds;

snow;

tablespoon;

Film on the table;

toothpick;

sifted ashes;

nail.

Step-by-step instruction

1. We need to take a plastic container and make it drain holes using a heated large nail. The holes need to be done not only at the bottom, but in some places on the sides.

2. Further wash tank with soap. Give it to dry, and pour into a container soil ground is not up to the brim.

3. Now we need to take seed. To disinfect their propagation material treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 20 minutes. To stimulate their growth can be immersed for 24 hours in a solution of "Epin".

4. After all the treatments of seeds need a little dry.

5. Further, the container pour snow layer of 1 cm using a tablespoon. He not only moisturize the soil, but will also lay down a good guide to determining the seeding density (on a white background dark petunia seeds are clearly visible).

By the way, the melt water is also a good stimulant of growth.

9. As soon as you see the first shoots, immediately put up for a bright place.

That is, on the leveled soil surface should be evenly sprinkle the seeds on top of the ground and put a small layer of snow. Wait until the snow melts, and close the lid (or plastic bag).
