Soaking seeds before sowing allows you to reduce the time it takes for them to germinate, which means that the seedlings will be transplanted in due time and there will be no problems with the harvest.

Each crop has its own dates for sowing and transplanting seedlings. That is why it is so important that the seeds sprout without delay.

One of the proven recipes is aloe juice, rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other useful substances.

Of all natural remedies, this is the most effective growth stimulant.

Aloe juice promotes germination, protects seedlings from diseases, and also makes seedlings resistant to adverse weather conditions.

How to soak

1. For soaking, use fresh juice squeezed from the shoots of the plant.

2. The finished concentrate is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:1, after which the seeds can be placed in it.

3. It is important that the prepared solution completely covers the seed material.

4. Soaking takes from 12 hours to a whole day, but no more.

5. After this, the seeds are removed from the solution, not washed, but simply allowed to dry.

It will be easier if you place small seeds in cheesecloth.

Summer residents claim that after treatment with aloe juice, seedlings tolerate transportation and transplantation more easily, get sick less often and bear fruit better.
