Everything you need to know about plant cultivation

1. Prepare the container. Each bush should be placed in a peat pot, but you can also use plastic pots for seedlings.
2. The soil for planting seeds must be disinfected. It can be prepared independently, well, it is better to buy a ready-made light substrate for seedlings of crops.
3. Each seed is immersed to a depth of 1 - 1.5 centimeters.
4. Moisturize the soil before sowing, not after.
5. The temperature in the room in which the seedlings are located should not be lower than 21 ° C.
6. The room with seedlings should be well-lit. If necessary, you can optionally install special greenhouse fluorescent lamps.
7. The next watering is carried out only after 5 days, after the first seedlings.
8. Hardening is carried out 5 days before planting in open ground.
9. The first shoots appear already on the third day after sowing. Seedlings should be planted in open ground, no later than 2 weeks after germination. The optimal time for growing seedlings is mid-May.

Planting seedlings in open ground

Bidrett F1 cucumbers are suitable for cultivation in different climatic conditions, but, like all heat-loving crops, they can hardly tolerate cold. Before the plant enters the soil, it is necessary to harden. For this, 2 days before planting in open ground, the temperature in the room with seedlings is reduced to 16 ° C. This method will help seedlings adapt to lower temperatures at night.

Before embarking, it is necessary to prepare the soil. This should be done at least 2 weeks before disembarkation. Soil preparation has the following sequence:

1. Decide on the landing site. Do not plant cucumbers where pumpkin cultures were previously grown. This can cause disease in young seedlings. Bidrett F1 cucumbers can be planted in the soil after a tomato, potato, pea or cabbage. Such a neighborhood would be safe.
2. Cucumbers have a weak root system, they quickly absorb moisture and nutrients, so the earth must be completely cleared of weeds.
3. As already mentioned, Bidretta F1 grows well in medium-coarse and breathable soil. To prepare such a soil, it is necessary to add peat mixture, chernozem, sand, as well as straw (sterile, sawdust possible).
4. Before planting, the soil must again be dug up and moistened.
5. As soon as the soil temperature reaches 15C ° - 16C °, and the seedlings get stronger, they can be planted in open ground. Seedlings are placed at a distance of 40 cm from each other, and the distance between the beds should be at least 1 meter. Thus, on one m2 the number of sprouts should not exceed 3 pcs.

Care

Despite the fact that Bidrett F1 cucumbers are relatively unpretentious, they nevertheless require elementary care from the moment of landing and until the last training camp. The essence of all care is regular watering, the systematic removal of weeds and loosening of the soil.
