Growing dill on a windowsill in winter is not difficult, but you need to create certain conditions.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, talks about the main rules for growing dill at home.
How to Grow Dill on a Windowsill
The daytime air temperature should be about +20 degrees, the nighttime temperature – about +15 degrees. Air humidity – from 40%.
Dill needs daylight for 12-14 hours a day. Phytolamps are usually used. They are placed at a distance of 50 cm from the plants.
The soil mixture should be nutritious and loose and with a neutral pH. You can simply buy a substrate for seedlings "Universal" in a garden store.
Before planting, the seed material is soaked in warm water for 48 hours. The water should be changed periodically.
After this, disinfection is carried out: the seeds are soaked for three hours in a weak solution of potassium permanganate or boric acid (1 teaspoon of acid per glass of warm water), then washed with water.
