Everything in this world needs comfortable conditions for development and growth, not to mention the fragile and brittle seedlings on the windowsills of summer residents.

The result of the transplant, and therefore the future fruiting, depends on how strong and robust it grows. We will tell you how to save frail and skinny seedlings.

Everyone has known for a long time that seedlings need a comfortable temperature, a nutrient medium, humid air and maximum sunlight.

While you can still do something with fertilizers and moisture, it's better not to joke with light and temperature. These are the main factors that make seedlings grow weak and skinny.

And when there are only a few days left before transplanting, inexperienced gardeners start clutching their heads.

In fact, you don’t need to panic, but rather start urgently reviving the seedlings before you have to plant the remains in open ground.

How to save seedlings

Experienced gardeners unanimously insist that unsuccessful seedlings can be saved by glucose (or rather powder).

The medicine supports young shoots, makes them strong, powerful, increases immunity and plant resistance to stress.

Moreover, glucose can help even when leaves begin to wilt and lose their natural elasticity.

At the same time, root development is activated.

How to make fertilizer

The working solution is prepared by mixing only 0.5 grams of glucose powder in 1 liter of settled water at room temperature.

The finished product is used for watering at the roots and is applied only to damp soil.

The same product can be used for spraying at intervals of once every 14 days.

In particularly severe cases, treatment intervals are reduced to once every 7 days.

The solution is prepared for single use and cannot be stored.
