How to sow

If you have several varieties of primroses, then every kind of need to be put in a separate container. Since primrose it is important that the soil was loose, so the soil need to add clean river sand (calcined) and vermiculite (about a quarter of the soil).

As tanks, you can use plastic containers, which are sold at the grocery store. They make the drainage holes.

All containers to fill Peat mixture, razravnyat surface soil and seal the seeds evenly lay on the ground and sags.

Through the sprayer to moisten the surface of the soil. Soak the seeds for better germination Alpin solution.

Soaking seeds need 4 drops of Alpin. Exposure time - 18-20 hours.

Then, using tweezers or toothpicks seeds decomposed by the surface vessel. If you put in the vermiculite, the powder does not need to, if planted in the sand, then sprinkle on top of a little the same material, but so as not to fill the seeds completely. This is done to fix them on the surface. Once again I need a little spray and close the lid. All containers are required to sign, note the time of sowing and variety to avoid confusion.

Three days of capacity should be at room temperature, and then they need to be put in the fridge for stratification for 14 days.
