Investing a lot of effort into a garden, each of us wants to get a good and rich harvest. Properly selected high-quality seeds grown of them seedlings are just half of the success. Many gardeners know that in order to grow a good harvest, it is necessary to provide the plants in which it could develop fully. It is especially important to strengthen its root system. After all, this is the key to strong, healthy and steadfasting to the open soil seedlings. Most likely, many of us have repeatedly heard of such a thing as a dive. However, do not everyone know how to make this important process for the plant at home. So, let's stop in more detail on how to dial themselves yourself.
What is picking seedlings
Picking is now taken to call a transplantation or transshipment of young shoots. In fact, the name is a different process. This removal of the bottom of the plant root in order to stimulate the branching of the root system. In case of an action with a pointed cavity, the small part of the escape root is chopped. The tool resembles a medieval weapon - peak. So the name "Piking" occurred. Modern gardeners are recommended to fill the roots at their own desire, because the entire procedure can be interpreted as a transplant in two ways. Both are used when the first full-fledged sheets appear in the seedlings. Two-three sprouts acquired - it's time to transplant. And where and where? Seedlings initially planted in small containers, most often in this role are disposable plastic glasses. Over time, the roots becomes a little initially designated place, and all nutrients in the ground, which is filled with a glass, turn out to be "eaten". Then the sprouts are transplanted with all the scope in one large capacity, or separately, but wider. Prication of seedlings is necessary in the following cases:
- seedling was originally sown in a large capacity. If you shoot, the roots will go off among themselves and transfer plants to the garden will be very difficult;
- seedling climbed too thickly. When transplanting can be selected the strongest, in your opinion, shoots;
- among the seedlings appeared sick copies. Picking will execute the form of "quarantine" for healthy seedlings, not allowing them to get infected. In addition, the soil itself could be a source of infection, therefore it is recommended to change it;
- saplings grow too fast. The change of "place of residence" can affect the growth rate of plants and brake their development;
- earth on your beds requires the presence of a well-developed root system. The wedding of the main root contributes to the development of lateral branches.
Many experts recommend to make a pickup in obligatory, as the large area and loose soil will provide the root system of plants the necessary access to oxygen and useful trace elements. These actions, which at first glance may seem like many unnecessary, in practice will help your seedlings adapt to new living conditions, after you pass it into an open soil.
It is worth remembering that there are cultures that picing is contraindicated or extremely poorly reflected in the state of plants. These are views with one main root. The rod root system does not provide for the development of lateral sprouts, because the burnt of the root will not lead to anything good. You can only replant such cultures only by the transit method at very early stages of development.
Picking-transplant. If you gathered to transplant your "firstborn", two hours before the "operation" moisten the ground with warm water. This will help avoid difficulties when extracting plants. Capacity cooked for transplanting should not fill in land more than one third. It is desirable to take a new soil desirable for seedlings, which is rich in nutrients for plants. In the new soil you need to make deep pits so that they can fit the roots of seedlings and freely stay along the entire length. It is necessary to remove the sprout right with an earthen room. It is not recommended to take an instance for the stem - is traumatic. Further, the root is cleaned from the ground and, if necessary, "dive": pinch a piece of the main root. After that, the escape can be planted into the prepared hole and water. Upon completion of the plant procedure, there must be several days away from bright light.
Picking-transshipment. With this method, the native land of land becomes a seedling "Pressible item", for it remains on the root. It is especially convenient to use the transshipment method when each escape grows in its glass or a small pot. Then the whole earth is a coma and retains the form of capacity. The advantages of the method is that the root is not worried, and the plant does not need extra time for adaptation in new soil.
In order to carefully remove the escape from the pot, the container with the plant should be turned upside down, passing the deciduous part with the stem between the fingers. Further, click on the bottom of the glass, and the land remains on the palm. Cutting plants are put in earthenware "cups" on the bottom of the new capacity, and the gaps are filled with a new soil. The transplant transplant method is ideal for very capricious plants.
Chronicle of picking tomatoor
Tomatoes are picked in two stages. The ideal time to pick up tomato seedlings is from the tenth to the fifteenth day after sowing. Previously, it is impossible: the root processes at the shoots are completely fragile. It is later not recommended that: tomatoes have very thick germs and there is a risk of releaving roots. If you do not use the transshipment method, clean the roots from the ground is not completely. It is necessary to leave a small romoc of native land on the roots to facilitate the adaptation of the plant to new conditions. You can only take a plant extracted from the ground only for the leaves: damage to the leaves will not lead to the death of the seedlings.
The tomato has a property to grow extra roots from the stem itself, therefore it is necessary to immerse a seedling into a new soil along the semi-sodly leaves. The main thing is not to fall asleep the ground between them, where the following sheets come from.
The pinching of root sprouts is necessary if the new capacitance in height exceeds eight centimeters. In boxes of a lower depth of the roots of tomatoes, they themselves stop their growth, having met the bottom, and develop the apparent root processes. The distance between transplanted copies should be from six to eight centimeters. The second stage will come when the shoots will appear two real leaves. Here you can act in the methods described above and place seedlings at a distance of fifteen centimeters from each other or disembark them into separate, suitable containers.
In general, the tomato is characterized by good survival. Damage to the roots is not very terrible. Even if during the process the root broke, the plant will survive. It is enough to bury a seeding into the ground through the seedy leaves, and the tomato will acquire new root sprouts. The same effect can be achieved by putting a "disabled person" into the water.
Picking Pepper
Pepper is separate. This plant in the literal sense asks "peppers" to its owners at the stage of growing seeds. And a variety of manipulations with its roots, the plant does not really like a terribly. If there is an opportunity, this "Paktochnik" is better to immediately plant each in separate containers each and do without surgery. If not, the pebble of pepper seedlings should be done very carefully. It is also impossible to leave peppers in a large container. The shadow from the neighbors will shade the leaves that the plant will also respond negatively. Saplings will begin to reach the light and their development will slow down.
You need to start transplant procedures in March. Peppers have a very long period of vegetation, because they are sowing them in February. By March, seedlings appear from four to six real leaves, which begin to bring "shadow on the woven" and the dive comes. Seared shoots are only separately. Even two in one package will not be seized. Press the pepper seedlings are recommended only when the main root is clearly visible. And it happens not always, because the pepper is capricious not only at the top, but also at the bottom. For the same reason, it is not necessary to plant shoots in the soil along the very seedy leaves, as in the case of tomatoes. Pepper does not allow additional root sprouts from the stem itself, therefore, the root of the earth can only lead to the planting of the plant. Lower the root in the ground is also needed with the mind. If he closes when landing, it will turn around, or at all, turns the snail - slow growth is provided. Therefore, when landing, the seedling is slightly tightened up so that the root is leveled inside the soil.
Cropped boxes from milk and kefir are ideal for transplanting. They need to do drainage - holes for water drain. But there is a more interesting recommendation. From the folded four-fold newspaper twist a paper cylinder, bending it at the top at the edges so as not to turn around. The cylinder put vertically on a wide pallet or something like that, fall asleep in it the earth and disembarking. The bottom it is not required, and therefore the drainage holes are not needed. Such cylinders can be set close to each other closely. In the same cylinders, the seedlings are then transferred to open ground. The newspaper in the ground is spread and nothing hinders the growth of escape. It is impossible to use newspaper sheets with color photos. The same cylinders can be made from a plastic film, but it will have to be removed when the seedman is already planted on the garden. Make it is quite simple: the film is easily cut on one side and pulls out of the ground.
After transplanting Pepper will continue to capricious. At first it will be confused, even with good watering. Then stop growing. All these "chips" of plants need to be able to survive calmly. Peppers will be burned in the new territory and will go into growth. Just keep them in warm and do not put under direct sunlight. But to illuminate their daylight lamp is periodically useful. Let it stop before landing on the garden. The leaves that are not accustomed to the sunshine, falling under the right exposure to the Sun, sometimes burning, the time to grow new time, and the plant begins to be fron down a month later. Lighting peppers can be a couple of hours a day, because it is a culture of a short light day.
General Recommendations when recording seedlings
Some gardeners are not recommended to take plants with bare hands. Either in gloves or keep for the earthlings. This is explained by the temperature regime. Seedling usually grows in rather cool conditions. And the temperature of human fingers is two times higher. If you take them for the skener, the plant will have long come to herself after the temperature shock.
In a wide massif of the soil, while the roots have not yet spread throughout the volume, harmful insects and different fungi can be reached (even harmless to plants). As a result, the land "Zakisat". Therefore, while the root system of seedling is still undeveloped, do not hurry to go to run a wide space.
The cessation of growth after dive (not speaking of harmful plants) is in cases of zaksing the Earth, excessive stretching of seedlings, cooling the Earth or an excess of ash in the soil. In the first case, it is enough to disappear more often the land, drinking it from above the ash. In the second case, you will have to be patient - plants need time to grow additional roots, for all the forces went to growth. Heat the land can be with artificial heating. Capacity can be lined with bottles filled with hot water until the soil temperature exceeds twenty degrees above zero. And the fourth problem is eliminated by adding superphosphate to the soil.
After picking the plant, sometimes sick "black leg". This leads to the blackening and thinning of the stem, as a result of which escape can die. Prevent such a demise will help watering a weak solution of manganese.
