In recent years more often from abroad began to bring the saplings covered with wax. The Russian nurseries too gradually pass to this practice and apply wax in technology of packing. For what wax on saplings and whether it is necessary to delete it before landing is necessary?
It is required to you
- - sapling with wax;
- - wooden toothpick.
Instruction
1. Producers approve – wax it well. Saplings with its help keep presentation, are not damaged in transit. The protective wax layer protects them from diseases and wreckers still some time after landing in soil. And then, under the influence of the sun, wax is softened and disappears itself or is washed away by rains. Therefore it is not obligatory to delete before landing from saplings it not only, but it is even undesirable.
2. Consumers consider – wax it badly. Wide negative experience, especially at flower growers is accumulated, at planting of bushes of the roses processed by wax. However everything depends on quality and consistence of wax and also on temperature of its melting and weather patterns during planting of saplings in soil.
3. Yes, the saplings processed by wax remain when transporting better and do not evaporate moisture. But also wax well masks defects which can be on sapling, and gives it attractive presentation. Besides at plants on stalks time which they breathe are located. And it is possible, the clogged-up pores for an appreciable length of time not really well affect further development of plant.
4. One wax covering itself peels even before landing as it is put with thin layer. Another and after landing remains within several weeks, will not warm properly the sun yet. And here in this hot spring sun wax begins to melt, bubble and flow down on plant stalk. And what it for young sapling hot wax? It is absolute burn which is got by all stalk on which wax flows down. Plus it closes time and does not allow plant to breathe. As a result the stalk blackens, dries up and the sapling perishes.
5. Therefore wax needs to be removed from saplings. Before landing it is possible to store planting stock in the wax protective film. But before landing it needs to be exempted from wax if he has not begun to lag behind. It is possible to make it easy way, by means of toothpick. Previously take sapling in the cool room that wax has stiffened and has hardened. Then take toothpick and accurately carry out by it along sapling stalk, cutting wax layer. Hook toothpick of edge of cut and move apart them. Now take the unbent edge of wax fingers and remove from sapling stocking down.
6. Try to work carefully and to use only wooden toothpick. It is not necessary to try to tear off wax knife or other sharp metal tools.
