There is one common problem for all gardeners - seedlings blooming before the time. It is possible that gardeners have nothing to do with it, it is just the weather that got in the way.
But now the weather has improved, it's time to plant the seedlings in the greenhouse, and there are flowers on top. Let's figure out whether it is possible to transplant it, while preserving the flowers or ovaries.
When to replant
Note that you can transplant seedlings that have a developed root system, a strong stem, and full foliage - at least 6-8 pieces.
The preparation time is 3-4 weeks for early seedlings and 8-10 weeks for late seedlings.
To avoid the bush from stretching and the appearance of flowers, you can cheat:
1) remove the lower leaves to form lateral roots;
2) transplant the bush into a spacious container;
3) deepen the plants.
How to transplant
If you are late with your transfer, regardless of the reason, you will have to act as follows.
If the bushes are weak, then the flowers or fruits will have to be picked off, otherwise the plant will take a long time to take root. If the bushes are strong, then nothing terrible will happen to them.
The transplant is carried out using the transshipment method, together with the soil lump, so as not to damage the roots.
After replanting and watering, add fertilizer and protect the bushes from direct sunlight.
In this case, the plant will have enough strength to take root and continue to bear fruit.
