Do you throw out seedlings if it has overgrown?

Gardeners and gardeners are quite calm people in themselves. And why bother if you spend a lot of time in nature, in the fresh air? There's only one reason these people change in their faces: grow out tomatoes. Immediately panic and irritability begin.



And how can you not be nervous if everything is at stake: respect for neighbors, harvesting, confidence that your plants will be the healthiest in the area. It's, you know, expensive. So today we will try to help all those who have lost confidence in their abilities to work with the land. Believe me, everything can be fixed in a fairly simple way!

First, let’s look at the reasons why the seedlings can outgrow. They are, and they are not so few. So in the future you'll be warned, which means you'll be armed. Try not to forget this information and everything will be fine.

Causes Too early to plant. The longer the seedlings are in the comfortable conditions of your apartment, the greater the chances that it will outgrow. There are also force majeure, for example, prolonged spring cold. You can't keep track of everything. But here are the numbers for understanding how much seedlings should stand in your house before it goes to the garden or greenhouse.

Seedlings tomato ready for transplant within 60 days after germination. pepper It will take 50-60 days, seedlings cabbage It matures faster: 35-55 days. Cucumbers It takes about 25 days, which is much faster than that. eggplantThe period can be up to 75 days.



Incorrect temperature. Tomato seedlings are very tender and demanding to such a parameter as room temperature. She shouldn't be too cold or she'll wither. But too hot, too, because it will grow to the ceiling.

Daytime The temperature should not deviate from the mark of 22-25 degrees. While perfect. night-time The temperature is 15-16 degrees.

Lack of light. In different regions of the country, the issue of lighting is different. Problems arise when you begin to realize that your windows are facing the wrong side. But don’t worry, stores have been selling for a long time. lamps You can buy them in almost any city.



Excess water. A typical problem for beginners. Amateurs believe that the more, the better. More water and fertilizer, in their understanding, guarantees a strong, strong seedlings and a rich harvest in the future. Let us immediately note that this idea is fundamentally wrong. The seedlings will be flimsy and stretch up. And we can't let that happen.

Water the seedlings warm-water And through the pallet. Make sure the ground is already dry and watch the amount of liquid. Overflows can turn into problems in the future, be careful. If the seedlings do not wither in front of our eyes, she doesn't need fertilizer. For plants in this case, feeding is useful only in the most extreme case, when nothing else will help.

If for some reason the seedlings still continue to stretch up, and the deadline for its landing has not yet come, you can do the following actions that will help slow down its growth:

1. Reduce the frequency and amount of water during watering;
2. Put it in a slightly larger container;
3. reduce the temperature in the room where it grows;
4. Transfer containers with seedlings to a dark place without light sources;
5. Use special store tools to slow down growth.

Let’s put the overgrown seedlings first, you need to be neat. When the deadline for transplantation into the ground has already come, and you have long, like boiled pasta, plants on your hands - you should not panic. You need to move them to the right place with minimal losses. The bus or the car doesn't matter. Just deliver them as comfortably as possible. Now plants will be harmed by any stress.

Secondly, you need greenhouse. The bed for overgrown seedlings is made non-standard, with longitudinal holes instead of ordinary holes.



Remove the weakened plant from the container and lay it along the hole. It's too long, isn't it? It's okay. Just bury it about a third in the ground. Right, along with the bottom leaves. So do with all your seedlings. After a couple of days, new roots will appear on the bottom of the plants, stem and twigs that are underground. And the plants themselves will take a vertical position, as if by magic.

The main thing is not to forget about timely watering. As soon as you notice that the seedlings have taken their natural position, get to work. Tie up. every bush. That's all, actually. Now grow seedlings like an adult plant until you get the long-awaited harvest. As you can see, nothing is complicated, and there is no special reason to panic.



I hope our advice was interesting to you. Doing the garden is more than useful. It positively affects the health of a person, his mood. What to say about the fruits of painstaking work that you can enjoy when the time comes. And you'll do it at your best, and "Site".
