Humidity and temperature conditions
After this, the container is moved to a warm place again. In cloudy weather and at night, it is better to leave the containers with sprouts in a cool place. At night, photosynthesis stops, the seedlings accumulate strength for growth. But if the plants are warm at night, they will breathe and use up the accumulated substances.
Special plastic cassettes are very convenient for growing seedlings on a windowsill; you can adjust them to the desired size with your own hands. Also, in this case, picking will not be required, and each self employed data will have its own cell. Another good option is peat pots; they are impregnated with substances to enhance growth; replanting is also not required here.
But if the windowsill is very cool, then it is better to take wooden boxes or flowerpots as containers for seedlings, because they are denser. But it will not hurt to insulate the containers on the windowsill with foam or fabric in any case. If the rhizome freezes, it will only bring negative consequences. Some sow the seed in plastic cups, and then place them in wooden boxes. In this case, the sprouts will not freeze on the cool windowsill, it will also be convenient to transfer the seedlings to the garden.
Watering should be done regularly, the soil should not dry out, but it should not be flooded either. In hot weather, seedlings can be watered 2 times a day, but on cool and cloudy days, watering is reduced. Water the seedlings on the windowsill with settled water at a comfortable temperature.
How to conveniently place seedlings at home?
One way to conveniently place seedlings at home is to hang plastic bottles. Cut a "door" in the selected bottles and then fill them ¼ with soil mixture. Then cut pieces of rope about 2 m long from a skein and tie them around the necks of the bottles. Such greenhouses should be hung from the cornice on the outside of the window. Watering is done with a sprayer.
A seedling rack is a compact shelf unit, the shelves on which can be made by hand in accordance with the dimensions of the window or room.
