When to dive tomato seedling

At cultivation of seedling of tomatoes the gardeners should dive seedlings. Tomatoes belong to those plants which not bad transfer it. The main thing here is to make it in time.

Seedlings of tomatoes are capable to be extended strongly for the first several day of life. That to avoid it, after emergence of shoots of capacity put on the lightest place on windowsill. The ideal option is to put seedling under the phytolamp. Light plays significant role in cultivation of strong seedling. The more light, the better there take place processes of photosynthesis at weak seedlings. At cultivation of tomatoes in house conditions and low lighting the seedlings dive several times. Each change for a while slows down their growth and increases the volume of root system.

Start the first dive when the first couple of real leaves appears (not to confuse with cotyledonous leaves). Seedlings are replaced in pots on one or several, maintaining distance between them in 4-5 cm. It is necessary that the root system developed in width, as much as possible using nutrients from the soil. At dive not wide, but deep choose pots. At seedlings prishchipyvat long root and plant them more deeply, than they grew before. Tomatoes well give additional backs from stalk.

The following change is done in process of growth. If rastishka began to add not so actively in growth, or smaller dismiss new leaves by the size, or color of seedling looks not bright green, so power supply in pots insufficiently. They need change. It is possible to postpone for a short time sword-play, having replaced it with fertilizing of the soluble balanced fertilizer.

Tomatoes well belong to changes. This reception constrains rapid growth of tomato seedling, especially when draw in terms of its disembarkation to the greenhouse / the open ground, and weather patterns which are not suitable for this purpose.

During cultivation it is desirable to replace them few times, from small pots in more spacious. The maximum volume of pots for tomato seedling of tall grades has to be about 1 liter. To undersized grades there are enough also 0.5-0.7 liter tanks.

Each sword-play does more powerful root system. And the developed roots are strong roots which will provide power supply delivery to plants further on beds and will bring rich harvest.
