Planting into the ground

Planting into the ground

Planting into the ground usually takes place in spring - then you plant, among others,. in. bed plants and cut flower crops, like cloves, asters, zinnia, marigolds, snapdragon (lion's face) in inside, and in the second half of summer - perennials are planted and biennial plants are planted (pansies, daisies, forget-me-nots and others).

Plants require some preparation before being planted into the ground. The seedlings of these plants are usually grown in frames or greenhouses, and therefore most often excessively delicated, therefore, before blowing them up, they must be hardened by gradually increasing airing and lowering the temperature.

Seedlings with 1-3 well-developed leaves are suitable for planting out. The day before planting, the plants in frames or boxes should be watered abundantly. Place, on which the plants are to be planted, must be carefully prepared in advance, Rake evenly and mark the rows with ropes or markers. The spacing between the rows and the plants in the rows depends on the plant species and the cultivation system being cultivated; we usually use 4-6 rows on the beds, and when grown flat, the distance between the rows varies from 25 do 35 cm. Planting in flower beds and flower beds is discussed on p. 146.

When planting plants into the ground, two methods of planting are most often used, in the so-called. square or rectangle, then the rows of plants intersect at right angles or in the so-called. high five (V) or a ten (X) Roman, or "passed". The first method makes it easier to use beauty treatments, the second - it allows better use of space and light.

Small plants are planted with a conical pin, larger plants are planted with scoops or shovels. The depth of the holes depends on the size of the plants and their root system.

We usually plant the plants that deep, how they grew on a seedbed or in a box. Crush the soil around the planted plants with your fingers (with small plants), nogami (with large ones) or - most often - with the same conical pin; to do this, stick it diagonally at a distance from the previously made hole and press the soil towards the planted out plant.

When planting, keep in mind, so as not to wrap the roots in any case; if they are too long, shorten them appropriately by touching them with your nails. After planting, if there is a need, you should plant the plants gently, but water abundantly, however paying attention, to prevent leaves or whole plants from sticking to the ground, which usually happens when planting slightly wilted plants. Well planted and watered plants usually produce new leaves and roots after 3–6 days - they grow.

However, it should be noted, that not all plants can withstand transplanting or pinching their roots equally well. Plants with the so-called. pile root system, like lupine, mak, gerbera and inne. In such cases, it is better to sow the plants immediately on permanent sites or to replant them at a very early stage of seedling development..
