In this article, we're going to say, when planting seedlings in the greenhouseThe tomato and cucumber crops are generous.



When in April you go to the greenhouse, where the air warms up to +35 ° C, It is immediately tempting to plant seedlings as soon as possible.. Especially if frosts are not promised and at night the air temperature does not fall below +10 ° C. Especially if the seedlings were sown early and are about to bloom.



However, when planting seedlings The most important role is played by soil temperature.. If the ground has not warmed up to +14 ° C at a depth of 15 cm, it is impossible to plant seedlings in the greenhouse in any case. At soil temperatures below +14 °C, the roots simply will not develop. And if the soil is too damp, it can completely rot. If the roots do not work, the plant will receive nourishment from the lower leaves. In this case, you will lose the first brush and you won't get an early harvest.

If the soil still does not warm up and you really want to collect an early harvest, you can use small tricks. For example, plant. There, the soil will warm up faster and the roots will start working. In general, many summer residents notice that later planting plants in heated soil allows you to harvest crops earlier than when planting in cold soil.



If your seedlings outgrew, transship. That's what litre cups do. As for nitrogen feeding, it is better to add in minimal doses - no more than 13-15%. You can also cut the tops and root them. This method is good if suddenly in the process of care plants break down. If you put broken tops in the water, they very quickly form powerful roots.



Spring weather is very variable, so don't rush into seedlings. Today, the air temperature can warm up to +20 ° C, and tomorrow frosts will come. It is better to wait for persistent heat, so that then it is not hurtful for the dead plants. Before May, it is better not to plan the planting of tomatoes and cucumbers in the ground.
