After you have managed to grow decent seedlings and transport them without damage in public transport, the main thing remains - to transplant them, and so that the plants take root as quickly as possible.

There are several summer cottage tricks for this case. We will tell you about them.

The most important condition for proper planting is planting in comfortable conditions. Transplanting itself is stressful, and if the environment is not familiar to the culture, then problems will follow one after another.

What to do

1. A week before planting, seedlings need to be fed to support the root system and its development. Ideally, the soil lump should be completely occupied by roots by the time of transplantation.

2. Before planting, water thoroughly so that the seedlings can be removed without damage.

3. The planting hole is also watered generously and fertilized, which is sprinkled with a layer of soil so that there is no direct contact with the roots.

4. To avoid stress after transplantation, it is best to use peat cups. In this case, all that remains is to place the plants in the soil, moistening the containers. The container will completely disintegrate in the soil, and the root ball will grow without damage.
