Growing flower seedlings

A real amateur flower, as a rule, grows floral seedlings on one's own. First, the houses received from the seeds costs at times cheaper. And secondly, it is though troublesome, but very fascinating. And what kind of gardener does not want his flower beds to bloom and pleased with bright colors as possible

When buying seeds, certainly pay attention to the shelf life. If it expires in the current year or the date on the packages is overlap, such seeds are better not to take. Buy only those cultures and varieties that planted sow this year, and in the amount that you can use. Seeds are not totetovar, which is purchased by the future.

If "Verbena (or Petunia) hybrid" is present on bags with seeds with seeds, this does not mean that you have to have the seeds of hybrids F1. In this case, the word "hybrid" denotes only the name of the species. In real heterosexis hybrids, the F1 icon is necessarily present in the title (for example, Verbena F1 Tuscani "Pastoral").

The first in February-March floral cultures are sown with a long time of vegetation (such as begonias, left, Lobelia, Mimulyus, Penstysk, Verbena, Petunia, Portulak, Tobacco, Code, Gotanyania, Pelargonium).

The emergence of friendly shoots contributes to the warming of seeds in the sun at least 2-4 days. The sun rays not only kill many pathogenic fungi (thereby disinfecting seeds), but also stimulate their germination. Especially love solar seeds Primulus, Aquillegia, Verbena, scented peas. Solar heat can be replaced by heat of electromamp or heating in hot water (from 2 to 10 hours depending on the type: the smaller, the less) in the gauze bag in the thermos at 50-51 ° C, not higher.

To stimulate the growth of seedlings, as well as the increases of their resistance to adverse conditions of the seeds can be duvened by 8-12 hours in a solution of epin or zircon (1 drop on a glass of water) to them in half a diluted scarlet extract for 6 hours at room temperature.

You can speed up the germination of seeds by creating conditions close to natural: dramatically change the temperature with high to low positive. This is done with the help of a refrigerator. Such processing is suitable for seeds of plants with a stretched germination period, especially for seeds of perennial flowers - delphinium, swimsuits, primroses, pelargoniums.

HE Seit in one container seeds of different types of colors. Even plants of one species and varieties, but having a different color, take part in different times. One already needs to remove the shelter - stretch, others have not risen yet.

Very small seeds that germinate in light, it is convenient to sow in the snow capacitance. When it melts, the seeds are drawn into a wet soil and they will not need to press it. Swords of too thick crops are often dying from exhaustion, they need to be opened as early as possible. In this case, it is not worth waiting for the appearance of real leaves.
