In the spring, summer residents try to find the best moment to transplant seedlings so that the seedlings can quickly take root.

Experts advise to carry out picking at the time when the plants acquire their first true leaf. It is from this moment that the seedlings begin to form flower clusters.

Phosphorus

The macroelement participates in the construction of cell walls and regulates gas exchange processes. A sufficient amount of phosphorus smooths out unfavorable growing conditions.

For example, the air in the room is sometimes hot and too dry. If there is a lack of phosphorus, seedlings react more acutely to unsatisfactory environmental conditions.

Therefore, after picking, experts advise adding fertilizer that contains this macroelement. For example, monopotassium phosphate is used. It contains about 50% phosphorus. 2 g of fertilizer is dissolved in 1 liter of water.

Root formation

After picking, it is recommended to stimulate the strengthening of the root system. For example, succinic acid copes with this task perfectly.

The most convenient way to do it is to add 1 g of the product to the phosphorus fertilizer and dilute it in 1 liter of water. The resulting solution is watered at the root of the seedlings.

Growth regulator

Picking is stressful for seedlings. To help seedlings endure the procedure more easily and quickly, gardeners spray the plants with an anti-stress preparation, such as "Epin".
