How to replace seedling tomato

Cultivation of seedling of tomatoes has set of subtleties: right choice of seeds and their preparation, timely watering, application of fertilizers. Replacing of seedling in separate tanks (dive) - important stage in care for the growing-up tomatoes. Incorrectly held sword-play can delay development of plants for week and more.

It is required to you

  • Seedling tomato, container for change, the earth, blade, water.

Instruction

1. Carry out change of seedling tomato when seedlings have about two real leaflets: approximately for 7-10 day after shoots. Terms of dive of seedling are often individual. Sometimes it is necessary to wait couple of days to allow small tomatoes to get stronger. For seedlings pick up plastic pots or glasses from under yogurt, milk. The approximate sizes of pots have to be such: diameter is 8-14 cm, height is 10-16 cm. Fill all tanks with the same nutritious soil in which seedlings grow.

2. Now start directly change. In the beginning make sample: leave only strong and perspective seedlings. Take out plant with earth lump, so it will quicker take root on the new place. Try not to touch leaves and stalk even if you work in gloves. In new pot make deepening and transfer to it seedling. Submerge tomato in the earth to cotyledonous leaves. After change condense the earth around seedling. Then perform peculiar procedure of hardening: water plant with cold water.

3. Install pots with the replaced tomatoes on the constant place. It is desirable that it was solar. If everything is executed correctly, the speed of development of plants will practically not slow down. Attentively study tomato seedling week later after change. Most likely she already adapted and has even grown up. In this case repeat the procedure of hardening. If you notice that seedling is inclined to outgrow, arrange hardening with cold water more often. Seedling should not blossom in pots. It reduces quantity of harvest. Solar training of seedling serves as preparation for change in soil. In the beginning put plants under direct sunshine for 30-60 minutes a day. Then increase this time.

4. At the end of May beginning of June prepare the greenhouse for planting of seedling of tomatoes. Make holes in soil at distance of 10-15 cm from each other. Depth of hole is the height of pot with seedling. Before the disembarkation bring tablespoon of superphosphate in each hole and pour water. As soon as moisture is absorbed, replace plants. In order that they were not beaten down at once, tie stalks to pegs narrow strips of fabric. Attract plants for couple of days. At once well water the replaced tomatoes and leave so for week. It will force roots grow in breadth and deep into in search of moisture.

5. Fertilize plants only when they take root. Successful development and formation of tasty fruits requires enough phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, sulfate of potassium and ashes. Never be fond of mineral nitrogen fertilizers (urea, ammonium nitrate) and also organic fertilizers - bird's dung, manure. Infusion of mullein feed up only 2-3 times for all season.
