seedling
cucumber seedling procedure includes the following steps:
- Prepare a container for planting. Each plant will require an individual cup, you can use a large box for a few shoots.
- In each container to place the substrate, pre-moisten it.
- Pour boiling water the soil and put on it the seeds of an edge up. They need to push and sprinkle the ground.
- Close container film and put in a warm place.
Then you have to wait until the sprout sprouts. This can happen through two, three, four days at a time and the probability of successful germination is influenced by such factors as the cucumber variety and resistance of a particular seed. While under the film does not appear sprout, shoot it in any case impossible.
These measures will provide a high humidity and heat for cucumbers. Under coated collected condensate - small and large drops of water, because of which it is not visible germs. Then, to check for germination is sufficient to shake the glass from side to side - the drops gather in one large, which is under the influence of its weight will shift and clear the "window".
As soon as the sprouts will become apparent, the film should be removed - plants need oxygen supply, and in a confined space it is not enough. Now cucumbers need lighting and watering. Boiling water is only used for quick germination, the rest is standard.
Priming
Planting in open ground favorable impact on the growth of cucumber - land and mineral resources more. The procedure for planting vegetables in soil with the use of boiling water:
- Make a furrow in the soil depth of not more than 5 cm and its pour boiling water of 5 liters to 1 m. The seeds should be placed immediately after watering.
- Sprinkle ground seeds and press the foot or hand.
- Cover the entire area of the film or other material which will not pass air. It is recommended to use a transparent web through which it is convenient to observe the development of cucumber and time to react to the emergence of seedlings.
- Check availability germinating sprouts in two days. After their appearance coating must be removed in order to avoid oxygen starvation. If the seedlings do not exist, it should cover and check again after half a day, a maximum of 1 day.
For greater efficiency should not be watered once all the beds - enough to pour 2-3 places, put the seeds and cover them, go to the next section.
Why put cucumber in boiling water
vegetables in boiling water landing advantage lies in the fact that under such exposure shoots appear quickly. Cucumbers arrived in Russia from India, where the average temperature of the air above. Vegetables demanding to moisture in the early stages of development, and landing in boiling water under the film of moisture and solves the problem of lack of heat.
Without this technology cucumbers need more time and energy to bring to the surface the germ. Consequently, the stem will grow more slowly, receive less heat, light and nutrients, will give less fruits. If insufficient moisture crop turn bitter, which reduces the range of application (use only bitter cucumber salad).
This method is used not only for growing cucumbers, it is applicable for tomatoes, parsley, onion, celery. Boiling water is used for quick germination and growth of ornamental plants.
