Planting and reproduction of eustoma
Reproduced eustoma seeds. You can get them from small
boxes, which are formed on the site of flowers, or buy in
the store. Fresh, high-quality seeds give good, friendly shoots.
Sow them from late December to February. Optimally do it before
how to turn off the heating, as the temperature of the soil is required
в 22-25 �WITH. At the same time, overheating to 30 ° C is unacceptable.
For sowing should take a small wooden box from under
fruit or pots. Prepared substrate poured into the box
a layer of 5-7 centimeters. Do not compact the soil, it can be slightly
moisten out of the sprayer. Seeds are distributed on the surface.

On top of the container is covered with plastic film or package.
Put it in a sunny place, on the windowsill, near the radiator
heating. Periodically, the tank must be ventilated. Seeds should
be wet but not wet: it can lead to development
fungal diseases. In the dark, they do not germinate. Shoots
appear in 10-20 days, on average in two weeks.
A week after the emergence of shoots, the greenhouse should be regularly
open. So sprouts will get used to the open air. At first
day, open the greenhouse for 10 minutes, every day add another
10. After 15 days the film can be removed completely. Seedlings should
periodically process from the sprayer with light solutions
fungicides for the prevention of disease and rot. maybe
the use of growth regulators.
Transplanted sprouts when they reach a height of 5 centimeters.
You can take bundles of 3-5 plants and plant them in peat pots.
Sprouts tolerate transplant quite well, which can not be said about
adult plants. After transplantation, hold eustoma for 5-7 days.
