The right time for sowing zinnias for seedlings begins in mid-March and lasts until the end of the month.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh shared a method for sowing zinnias for seedlings, in which the flowers sprout on the third day.

First, you need to fill the cups with soil and compact it.

An equally important step is watering with a solution of potassium permanganate, after which the soil should be leveled and you can begin sowing.

Place one seed in the center of each container and sprinkle it with dry soil so that the seed is at a depth of 1 cm.

Tamp the soil again (this will make it easier for the seeds to get rid of the shell) and spray the crops. Do not water, otherwise the seeds will float in the loose soil.

All that remains is to cover the cups with film and transfer them to a warm place where the temperature is maintained at +25 degrees.

Once the shoots appear, move the containers with seedlings to a cooler place - +17 degrees will be enough.
