Many gardeners have probably found themselves in a situation where tomato seedlings are blooming, but the weather does not allow them to be planted.
What to do in such cases is explained by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What to do if tomato seedlings have blossomed and it is too early to plant
If a flower cluster appears two to three weeks before planting in the ground, it needs to be torn off.
It is also necessary to add nitrogen fertilizers so that the plant can increase its vegetative mass by the time of planting.
Premature flowering can be prevented by using hormonal preparations such as heteroauxin.
Dissolve two grams of the preparation in 10 liters of water and water every three to four days for two weeks.
Even if the seedlings have stretched out, they should not be planted too deep (maximum to the first true leaf). Deepening delays fruiting.
