How to water seedlings to make them stronger

Many people grow seedlings at home. Due to high air temperature, low humidity and poor lighting, plants develop poorly.

But there is no need to get upset and give up, as there is an effective remedy that will help grow healthy seedlings.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, told how to grow healthy seedlings.

Experts recommend developing plants using retardants. These preparations are synthetic substances. They regulate the growth of the above-ground part of the seedlings.

Due to the use of retardants, the plant develops moderately. This has a positive effect on its root system, which in turn has a positive effect on the formation of the stem.

Another advantage is that the use of retardants significantly reduces the risk of plant disease. In addition, these synthetic substances can increase yields by 20 to 30%.

The retardant "Athlete" is an excellent preparation for the growth of seedlings of vegetables, berries and flowers. It is worth noting that before using this product, you need to carefully read the instructions. The fact is that this drug must be diluted according to a special scheme. Keep in mind that you need to use it extremely carefully.

It should be added that a certain amount of the produced solution must be used for each plant. Accuracy is important in this matter. For example, if the seedlings are in a container with a volume of 0.5 l, then 0.1 l of the solution must be poured onto each stem.

It is worth noting that after treating the seedlings with a retardent, it is necessary to create comfortable conditions for them. The main thing is not to leave the plants under direct sunlight, as they can get serious burns. You also need to monitor the temperature in the room. It should be from 18 to 20 degrees.

It should be noted that seedlings need to be treated with retarders several times, but this should be done with breaks. They should be from five to eight days. It is worth noting that the first phase of treatment should be carried out immediately after the seedlings hatch several true leaves.

It should also be added that after treating the seedlings with the preparation, you need to spray the plant with water. This should be done under normal circumstances. It is extremely important for plants to undergo such water procedures 2-3 times a day.

Many plant growers do not trust chemicals. Therefore, they use folk remedies to feed seedlings.

Experienced gardeners advise using ammonia in plant growing. It contains nitrogen. This substance is very useful for plants. It should be noted that a solution of ammonia and water will help strengthen the stem of seedlings.

Making this mixture is very simple. Even a beginner in plant growing can cope with this task. In order to prepare the above-mentioned solution, you need to mix one teaspoon of ammonia with ten liters of water.

It is worth adding that the resulting mixture should be poured under the root of the plant. It is very important to carry out this irrigation process carefully, since there is a high probability of harm to the plant.
