""Without water and not there, and not syuda"" - the phrase from the old movie is known to all. Water is necessary also for shoots of seeds, and for further development of seedling. How to learn to water seedling correctly?
At cultivation of any seedling it is necessary to follow the basic rules of watering:
At stage of shoots the seeds need only the moistened soil and watering is not required. Only at superficial crops of small seeds and drying of the soil, it is possible to carry out accurately spraying of the drying-up soil from spray.
At stage of emergence cotyledonous listikovpr lack of the soil of moisture can be watered a little vokrugstebelka, under back. At this time at small seedlings the roots only begin to be formed, and excess moisture can do much harm. Such delicate plants as petunia, lobelia, are very sensitive to overwetting during this period, and water them to breed of capacity or use the syringe.
At stage of development of the real leaves seedling begins to be watered slightly more and more often, in process of podsykhaniyazemla. As soon as soil begins to brighten, and to the touch the earth becomes dryish, friable, watering time has come. It is necessary to remember that first of all the earth dries up on surface. In the depth of capacity moisture remains. This point becomes important. The main rule is not to fill in. The earth has to be damp, but not wet. In the rehumidified soil ""the black leg"" also appears, especially at cultivation on cold windowsill.
How often it is necessary to water house seedling?
Usually answer that one-two waterings a week are enough. But at each owner seedling grows in different conditions. In the absence of additional illumination and high temperature of heating, interests in excess waterings always lead to development and pulling of seedling.
If seedling pots stand in one pallet, and when watering water flows in pallet, then later couple of hours excess water should be drained, otherwise surplus of water will prevent breath of roots and the earth will turn sour.
It is more preferable to carry out watering of small seedling in the first half of day.
What to do if seedling began to be extended?
Illumination will help to stop pulling. In the absence of that, it is necessary to lower temperature where seedling grows. To protect tanks with seedling from the battery. The quite good option when on windowsill the piece of plywood width exceeding windowsill lays down, and all seedling is put on plywood.
The piece of polyethylene film will help to protect seedling from the hot battery. The main thing that streams of dry warm air did not dry up seedling.
To the extended seedling it is possible to pour lands, to cotyledonous leaves. At dry and warm air seedling ""chokes"" also such simple actions as moistening, will be by the way. Even having placed normal jars with water between tanks with seedling, plants can help growing to endure the difficult period and to be restored.
Spraying on leaves can also be applied, but not each seedling loves such procedure.
""Golden rule"" is it is necessary to water seedling always with otstoyanny water of room temperature. It is better not to add, than to pour.
