Recently, the so-called Chinese method of growing tomato seedlings has been gaining popularity.
What you need to know about it is told by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
How to Grow Tomato Seedlings Using the "Chinese" Method
It is believed (this is little-studied information) that this method allows you to get healthier and stronger seedlings and significantly increase the yield due to the fact that tomatoes bloom and begin to bear fruit earlier, and the first brush is laid lower.
If you look at any discussion of the “Chinese” method on social networks, you will find that it is not just one, but three methods of growing seedlings.
The first is that after two to four leaves appear, the seedlings are cut almost to the root and the resulting cuttings are rooted, after which they are grown as ordinary seedlings. This is the very same "Chinese" method.
Also, "Chinese" often refers to a method called "cut" seedlings. Its essence is that the top of the grown seedlings is cut off and rooted. The result is twice as many seedlings.
The third method is that the first, most powerful stepsons are not thrown away, but rooted.
As you can see, all three methods are based on the ability of tomatoes to very quickly produce roots from the stem. It is not surprising that they are constantly confused.
