At cultivation of seedling from seeds dive – necessary agrotechnical reception. However some plant species can do without it, and another it can do much harm.
When to carry out dive
Dive is called change of plants in the course of their cultivation from tanks where seeds, in individual pots for ensuring the bigger area of power supply with it have been seeded. This process is very useful to plants as it promotes forming of good root system at the expense of the strengthened growth of side and additional roots. In this case the plants planted on bed will go to growth much quicker and will provide higher productivity in comparison with plants which have not been in due time seated.
The exception makes sweet pepper – it the plant does not take out damage of roots therefore seeds need to be planted at once in separate tanks that subsequently the plant had opportunity normally to develop. There is no need to replace also cucumbers and pumpkin plants (squash, bush pumpkins and pumpkins) if initially they have been put freely.
The sword-play needs to be held at emergence in plants of the first real leaflets. If the bigger quantity of seeds is seeded, than it is necessary for landing, it is possible to make in it the period preliminary selection, having chosen the largest and tall seedling for change. For sword-play it is necessary to get cassette boxes or peat glasses in advance – they can be got in shops. If there is nothing suitable near at hand, it is possible to use disposable plastic cups, previously having cut through in them drainage holes. Still the small rake or fork is required in order that at change of plants not to damage their leaves and root system.
How to dive seedling
Before dive it is necessary it is abundant to water plants of room temperature. After that it is necessary to prepare tanks for change, to fill them with nutritious soil. In the center of each glass it is necessary to make cone-shaped deepening. Fork undermine seedling and accurately replace it in the prepared glass together with the earth, burying to cotyledonous leaflets. At sword-play it is recommended to prishchipyvat the central root on 1/3 part of its length to strengthen korneobrazovaniye. After change of plant it is necessary to powder backs with the earth and to condense soil around them. After the sword-play seedling it is necessary it is abundant to water and put on the light place protected from direct sunshine, so far plant not to take roots. If the daylight is not enough for the normal growth of plants, it is necessary to dosvechivat seedling daylight lamps for 3-4 hours a day. It will allow plants not to feel discomfort and is good to be prepared for disembarkation in soil. It is possible to dive plants in hotbed at once. In this case separate glasses are not used, and plants land according to the scheme 15 x 15 cm, depending on their look.
