Dive of plants call change them at young age. After crops the shoots begin to grow densely and oppress each other. The sword-play or as still call, dive is applied to creation of required area of power supply of each sprout. Dive is made in boxes of the bigger size or separate pots. There are features. For example, cultures with weak root system – fragrant tobacco, kokhiya, alissum, arktotis, lobelia, gillyflower, lion's pharynx, petunia, dive in pots.
Instruction
1. Begin to dive seedlings not earlier, than have appeared the first or second present sheet. If at plant only cotyledonous leaves, with sword-play it is necessary to wait. Cotyledonous leaves call the first appeared couple of leaves, the leaves which have grown after them call the presents.
2. When carrying out change surely bury seedling to the earth to cotyledonous leaves. It is necessary for strengthening of root system. During the sword-play do not shorten roots.
3. For sword-play take the same earth in which the seedling has grown. It has to be the same on structure, as native. Humidify the earth which you filled in pot or box, slightly condense and only after that you carry out change.
4. Do poles in the earth by special peg with the sharp end. Lower seedling in pole and landing peg carefully press the earth near plant. It becomes in order that it was not formed emptiness between roots of plant and the earth, otherwise roots can dry. After the sword-play accurately, without washing away roots, water the earth so that it has settled.
5. Provide the good illumination of the sowing site. Different temperature is necessary for the normal growth of various plants. For cultivation of the most thermophilic - ageratum, salviya, perilla, the most suitable temperature of 20-25 °C. Other cultures - gelikhrizum, aster, petunia, verbena, alissum, lion's pharynx, kokhiya and others, normally develop at temperature of 18-22 °C. Some cold-resistant cultures - tsinerariya, viol, sweet pea it is necessary to cultivate at temperature of 15-18 °C - at the same time seedling will not be is extended and will become stronger and tempered.
