When the first sprouts appear, the container is placed on a well-lit windowsill. The film is not yet completely removed. This is done gradually. For example, the first day, air for 1-2 hours, and then increase the time.

When the chrysanthemum seedlings have their first 3 true leaves, they are picked. After transplanting, they are sprayed with "Zircon" or "Epin". This way, the seedlings will take root faster in a new place. Chrysanthemum seedlings are transplanted into open ground at the end of May.
