Growing seedlings

This period starts in February. Seed material needs to be prepared. The quality of future seedlings depends on this stage, and as a result, the entire crop:

• The seeds must be sorted out. You should choose only full-fledged specimens of the largest size, and it is better to throw out the small change. Defective seeds should not be left either;
• The selected seed is placed in a salt solution. Let them sit there for 15 minutes. During this time, all full-weight seeds will be at the bottom, and defective specimens will be on the surface. Anything on top should be thrown away. The remaining seeds must be washed;
• To wake up from a dormant state, it is recommended to hold the seeds in hot water, and then in cold water. You can put it in the refrigerator, then pull it out and put it by the battery. It is recommended to repeat this procedure 2 times;
• For the prevention of diseases, the seeds are placed in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for half an hour;
• To accelerate seedling, it is better to germinate the seeds in advance. For this purpose, they are laid out in shallow dishes, a little water is poured so that the seeds are half covered with liquid;
• When the seeds are swollen, the water must be drained, covered with a cloth, and slightly moistened. Warmth is needed for rapid germination. After a while, sprouts will appear.

Seeds are placed 3 cm apart, deepening 6 mm. Then the containers are covered with a polyethylene film to maintain an optimal microclimate. When small shoots appear, the cover is removed. Watering should be done in moderation, little by little, but regularly. When the seedlings grow up, they need to be fed. It is advisable to plant the plants in separate cups.
