How to Grow Asters from Seedlings
You can plant asters for seedlings from mid-February, but additional lighting is required.
Before planting, seeds must be treated with any biofungicide.
Wrap the seeds in a gauze bag and place them in the solution for 15-20 minutes.
It is best to plant in low packaging containers with a lid.
We fill them with soil (at least 5-6 cm), moisten them, make small furrows at a distance of 3-5 cm, evenly spread the seeds, sprinkle with a thin layer of soil.
We cover the containers with lids and place them in a light room with a temperature of 20-22 degrees.
After the shoots appear, remove the lids and move the seedlings to a cooler room (15 degrees).
Aster seedlings are picked after 3-4 true leaves appear and planted in the ground after the end of frosts.
Aster seedlings should be watered moderately. As for fertilizing, microbiological fertilizers for seedlings should be used.
