Few gardeners know about the existence of a fertilizer that can be used at any stage of plant growth, from soaking seeds to spraying ripening fruits.

As you might have guessed, we are talking about a drug called succinic acid.

According to advanced plant growers, it is the main assistant in obtaining stocky seedlings and, accordingly, an abundant harvest of tomatoes and peppers.

How to use succinic acid to strengthen young seedlings?

You shouldn't assume that the principle of the more, the better will work in this case. No, quite the opposite - the solution must be prepared strictly according to the instructions.

So, to prepare the nutrient composition, you will need to dissolve a tablet of succinic acid in a liter of water.

Since a 0.5 g tablet of the drug contains only 0.1 g of pure succinic acid, when using powder you will have to divide the gram into 10 equal parts and use only one of them.

Use the resulting solution to water the seedlings at the root and spray on the leaves. For young plants, you will need 2-3 teaspoons, and for adults - 2-3 tablespoons.
