One of the species of this method is also called seedlings in Moscow and it is easy to guess why this method of cultivation of the seedlings was invented where every square centimeter of the living space is a weight of gold. When in February the light is still very small, and on the sunny side it turns out at best one window, seedlings in the pellecoms will help noticeably save the space of the window sill.
Methods of "pellery" growing seeds
Thus, you can grow excellent seedlings of almost any crops, even cabbage. Planting seedlings in diaper:
- As a film, it is better to use the one that was covered by a greenhouse, the main thing - so that it was rather dense. Cutting it into pieces of size with a sheet of notebook, it will be our pelleys, which subsequently pee seedlings.
- We lay out a spoon of prepared and moistened soil in the upper left corner of the pellery and we have a sprout so that the semiodoli be over the edge of the film.
- Then we impose a spoonful of soil.
- Penitate the lower edge of the pellery and turn it into a roll, putting the gum so that he does not turn around.
- On a piece of leucoplasty, we write the name of the variety or number and stick it to the film.
- All rolls tightly make up the pallet without holes or any container and leave on a well-lit place.
Water seedlings are not water, but a weak solution of mineral fertilizers for room colors, for example, a tool "Uniflor-bud" or "Narcissus", trying not to pour. As soon as the first 3-4 leafs appeared, pull the rolls, turn and add another spoonful of the soil. IMPORTANT: Capture the tips of the roots is not needed! We turn back, but we do not hold down the bottom and again we make them in the container, only holding the bottom with your hand so that the earth is not poured. More with the seedle do not do anything until the falling down of it in the open ground.
Tip: To determine whether the soil is so moistened in a roll in a roll, insert the index finger into it, and then remove and see: if the pillow of the finger is dry - the ground is dry and requires irrigation, if the wet finger - the soil moistened and should not be poured over two- Three days.
Another way to grow seedlings in the pellecoms like hydroponics without the use of soil.
- When the seed sowing occurs, cut the film on the strips of any length, 10 cm wide.
- On top of the film with a strip of toilet paper and moisturize it. You can sprinkle from the sprayer by adding aloe juice into the water. From moisture, the paper begins to gather, so straightening it with another hand.
- Next, at a distance of 1 cm from the top edge of the paper lay out in a number of seeds. The distance between them can be different, depending on the culture. For example, tomatoes are stacked at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other.
- From above, we drag the seeds of another strip of paper and cover our "sandwich" by the second piece of film.
- Now we turn it out with a roll and put in a plastic cup. Pour water so that the lower edge of the toilet paper remains 1.5-2 cm in it. Water moisturizes paper and seeds germinate.
- From above on a glass we wear a plastic bag with punctured holes, so that the seedlings are ventilated. We remove the cups in a warm place, for example, near the battery. You need to keep sowing, opening them every day for 20 minutes and removing the condensate gathered.
To give food to shoots, which they cannot get from the soil, it is necessary, as soon as they appear, feed them with a liquid solution of fertilizer on the basis of humic acids. The fertilizer concentration must be twice as fewer specified on the package.
As soon as the first real leaves appear, the feeding should be repeated. Thus, from seedlings in diapers from the film you can germinate pepper, cabbage, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, eggplants and even flowers.
The recording process of such seedlings is very simple: pull out a roll of a glass and look at the roots in plants. 2-3 cm of roots should be vaccinated, and then, gently pulling the roll, remove the top layer of the film. Now simply take off the sprout along with a piece of paper and planted into a separate cup. The remaining paper will quickly decompose in the ground, but with this method of roots of plants are not damaged and not confused. It is convenient to grow so seeds whose quality and shelf life: not germinate - it's not a pity, since neither the land nor the time was not spent on him.
The advantages of this method:
- this is the optimal output, if you have a surface shortage for seedlings: saving space is obvious;
- saplings do not get sick with a black leg, because they do not come into contact with the soil;
- the method is suitable for most cold-resistant crops and colors that plant in open ground in the form of mini seedlings.
Disadvantages:
- saplings get less light and slower develop;
- after the leaves are shown, the seedlings still have to plant a pot;
- stems during germination are very pulled, and the root system remains underdeveloped;
- one of the advantages of growing seedlings in diapers is that films can be reusable. For wintering, wash them away from the ground, dry and fold into the stack.
Before diving sprouts into the greenhouse soil, it is not bad for it to be pre-insulated, since most vegetable crops are thermal-loving plants and a cold cold can damage their root system.
A simple way to heat insulation of the soil from the bottom cold: the trench is digging to the depth of the bayonet of the shovel, and the fluff or a pen from old pillows or blankets is added to it. Any wool and bird fluff are pure organic silicon, which, in addition, gives the right feeding plants, strengthening their vascular grid and making them inaccessible to pests and diseases.
Cultivation subtlety of individual crops
Tomatoes. For germination, only determinant varieties or hybrids are well suited for germination. The best time to evolve is the middle-end of March. Do not delay with the finding of a seedling in Pelёnka: the best term is up to 45 days.
For industrumant hybrids, unfortunately, this method will not suit, because at the same time they have the formation of brushes. For example, a hybrid Typhoon F1 has a smooth brush where the fruits are neatly arranged, and it can begin to branch on two or three processes. But despite this, the crop still turns good. In addition, such seedlings require little soil and place and it is convenient to transport it to the cottage.
It must be remembered that when seedlings are transported, dive or breed, as well as during temperature drops, they experience great stress. Therefore, before the start of any actions, it is useful to sprinkle them with a healthy garden to a homeopathic basis, which will save the plants from the harmful effects of stress.
Cucumbers. Before growing seedlings in the pellecoms, seeds must be pre-germinated. It is possible to do this by flashing them in a plastic container, at the bottom of which toilet paper moistened with water is laid in several layers. After a couple of days, the seeds will be allowed sprouts.
Before planting seeds, it is better to pour water and spread them on the soil, scratching the tablespoon so as not to damage the roots. Make a finger's deepening in the soil, and then pour the seed there. As a rule, cucumbers, zucchini and pumpkin are sown in mid-April, although for each region its period. The container with rolls can be placed in a greenhouse, where shoots will appear after 3-5 days.
Tip: So that the land from the box does not get enough sleep, on its bottom can be seen burlap.
Regarding the seedlings in the pellecoms, there is enough video material where you can step by step to view the entire procedure. Carefully keep all the conditions, and then soon you will be pleased with the first leaflets of future tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and other vegetable crops.
