What to do with seedlings

The day before planting, the young plant should be watered and sprayed.

To perform the first step, you will need the most ordinary water.

But the second procedure involves the use of a special agent. We are talking about a plant growth regulator.

Buy a bio-preparation that will help a representative of flora that is in a "stressful situation". Good options are "Epin" and "Energen".

Prepare a liquid based on one of these agents and pour drops of it over the seedlings.

The result of the procedure will be that the pepper will acquire resistance to diseases and dangerous insects. The yield will most likely be high.

Earlier, summer residents were told how to save the gooseberry harvest with the help of kefir.
