When to transplant seedlings to a permanent place: conditions under which all seedlings take root
03.05.2023 18:09
There are several rules that will help summer residents choose the right moment to plant seedlings.
In order to “relocate” seedlings without losses, it is better to adhere to certain time periods.
You need to count the number of days from the moment when full shoots appear: the sprout has moved into a stable position and opened the first cotyledon leaves.
Number of days
From the moment the shoots appear until the seedlings are transplanted to a permanent location, the following time must pass:
- for tomatoes – 40-60 days (depending on the variety);
- peppers – 60-70 days;
- cucumbers – at least 25 days;
- zucchini – 20-25 days;
- eggplants – 50-70 days;
- white cabbage – 45-50 days;
- strawberries – at least 60 days.
Weather conditions
Summer residents vigilantly monitor the weather forecast. When the risk of returning cold weather is minimal, they choose a warm (but not too hot), sunny and windless day.
This weather is good for most crops. Cabbage is an exception. It is recommended to transplant its seedlings on a cloudy and cool day.
