To obtain seedlings of excellent quality, it is necessary to plant the plants. Consider what it is and why it should be done.
What is the seedling of seedlings?
Pikirovka seedlings - it's prishchipka end of the main root, which contributes to the growth of lateral and accessory roots. When the picking is carried out, the plants are planted from the general container into separate ones.
Why do I need a picking
Pikirovka contributes to the development of the root system of plants and their strengthening. Seeds are sown in a small container. In it, drainage is better than in a large pot. This provides seedlings with better access to oxygen.
When the seeds germinate and the first leaves form, the root system grows. The roots of plants begin to intertwine, the seedlings lag behind in growth. Therefore, for each seedling, it is required to increase the area of nutrition and to strengthen its roots by picks. This helps to grow a healthy plant.
Picking assignment
Picking plants should be done in such cases:
- if a very large number of seedlings has risen, the best of them can be selected by picking;
- If a part of the plants becomes ill, picking will help to save the seedlings that have not yet been infected;
- If there is a danger of overgrowing seedlings, the picking will slow down its growth.
Technique of picking plants
As a rule, plants dive under a peg. In the ground, a depression is made with the help of a peg. Seedlings are taken out with the ground, they should be kept not for the stem, but for the cotyledon leaves. The main root is plucked, the seedling is placed in a pit, covered with soil and primed at the base of the stem.
After the picks, you need to ensure abundant watering of the seedlings. Plants are placed in a cool place, protected from direct sunlight. When they do not take root, they are again placed on the windowsill.
Picking plants will help you get a good harvest in the future.
