The technique allows you to prepare and harden plants.Seedlings require timely watering, weeding of the soil and long daylight hours. It is better to keep the container with seedlings on the south or west side of the apartment, the most illuminated area.
- Seedless. In the case of direct planting in the ground, before sowing the plant, it is necessary to make sure that the soil temperature is suitable, it must warm up to at least +15 degrees. The depth of laying the seed is 1-2 centimeters. Before the first shoots appear, cover the sowing with foil.
