Summer residents adore unpretentious and bright asters that decorate the plot in autumn.
Asters tolerate temperature changes well and bloom until frost. Florists are captivated by the wide range of colors: from pink and purple to scarlet.
The buds appear 3 months after planting. If the seedlings are transplanted into open ground in March, the area will be unrecognizable by mid-summer.
Subtleties of sowing seedlings
1. The quality of the soil is of great importance. This is the key to the health of the seedlings. Loose and nutritious soil is half the success. However, you should not fertilize the soil with manure.
2. The container for seedlings should be no deeper than 10 cm. The seeds are lightly sprinkled with damp soil, then covered with film and placed in a warm place.
3. Seedlings appear in about 4-7 days. As soon as the seedlings have 3 true leaves, they are picked. Trichodermin is added to the soil to eliminate the possibility of disease development.
4. Seedlings are planted in open ground when the average daily temperature is +10 °C.
