Growing Features

In the event that seed germination in separate containers is selected, the classical scheme of seed germination should be adhered to:

2. Treatment with biostimulants. To increase the overall percentage of seed germination, it is recommended to pre-treat them with biostimulants.
3. Soil preparation. Germination soil must have a loose structure and contain a large amount of nutrients. An ideal option for sowing seed material is nutritious soil, which can be purchased in specialized stores.
4. The choice of containers. Experienced vegetable growers recommend germinating seeds in containers that are easy to separate from an earthen coma when transplanting seedlings into open ground.
5. Sowing. Seeds are placed in a container with soil mixture to a depth of 2 cm.

During germination, moderate, regular watering should be observed and containers should be placed so that direct sunlight does not leave burns on young leaves of plants.

Transplantation into open ground is carried out 35 days after seed germination. On 1 square meter, 4-5 young bushes are placed.

Care

To achieve the proper development of plants and get a good harvest, you should follow the standard rules of care:

1. Timely weed removal. Weed growth contributes to soil oxidation, which negatively affects the condition of the bushes.
2. Regular loosening of the soil. The loose soil passes moisture well and provides air circulation.
3. Fertilizer application. Grade Moravian gherkin responds well to the systematic application of organic fertilizers.
4. Watering. Regular, moderate irrigation with standing water should be carried out. Two-time watering will help improve plant growth.
5. Timely harvesting. Ripe fruits that remain on the plant hinder the development of new ovaries, which leads to a decrease in the number of crops. Greens should be collected daily.
