Eustoma is a thermophilic plant that can truly decorate any garden. We will tell you when to plant eustoma for seedlings in 2020, taking into account the lunar calendar.

Eustoma planting dates in 2020

It is also popularly called the prairie flower or the rose of Japan or Ireland. The main distinguishing characteristic of eustoma is its excellent color and a large variety of varieties, which allows you to choose the right one for a suitable coloristic solution for each specific area.

Since this plant is still a fairly rare guest on domestic plots and lawns of private houses, not everyone knows how and when to plant seeds correctly to obtain high-quality seedlings. It is necessary to take into account two main factors - the climatic characteristics of a particular belt and the phase of the moon, which contribute to the stimulation of growth.

Auspicious days according to the lunar calendar

When choosing the period when it is better to plant eustoma to obtain seedlings in 2020, taking into account the lunar calendar, you need to pay attention to the following dates, which are summarized for ease of perception in a table.

	January	February	March
Auspicious days	1, 5-9, 28-29	2-3, 6-7, 24-25	2-3, 27-31
Unfavorable days for planting eustoma for seedlings in 2020 according to the lunar calendar	10, 25-27	9-10, 21-23	7-9, 24-26

The gardener should also pay attention to the fact that those dates that are not included in the specified table are neutral. Therefore, planting these days will not affect either positively or negatively on the future plant.

When to plant by region in 2020

The second factor that allows you to correctly answer the question of when to plant eustoma for seedlings in 2020, not only according to the lunar calendar, but also without fail, taking into account the climatic features of a particular region. Here's what the experts recommend:

1. In the southern regions of the country, spring comes early enough, and night return frosts recede very quickly. For this reason, planting seeds in the ground to obtain seedlings can be carried out as early as early January or even at the end of December.
2. In the middle lane, including in the Moscow region, it is necessary to slightly shift the dates and start planting seeds no earlier than mid-January.
3. In the area of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, the climate can change dramatically. In addition, the high level of moisture does not allow early introduction of the material into the soil. For this reason, the planting of seeds is shifted to the end of January, and in especially cold seasons, even to the first days of February.
4. In Siberia and the Urals, due to snowy and cold winters and the late arrival of spring, it is worth planting eustoma with seeds in cups or common boxes for seedlings only in February.

In addition to the selection of climatic conditions and the period when to plant eustoma for seedlings in 2020, besides according to the lunar calendar, one more factor must be taken into account. If you need to get a flower at home, then it is better to further shift the timing of sowing seeds in a pot.

This is due to the fact that a plant that will hatch from a seed will receive more sunlight due to an increase in the length of daylight hours during this period. The young shoot will not stretch too much.

It will be harmoniously formed, as it will receive everything necessary for proper functioning, an intensive set of green mass and abundant and beautiful flowering.

How to properly grow eustoma at home

It is very important to understand that in addition to when it is worth planting eustoma seeds for seedlings in 2020 according to the lunar calendar and taking into account other factors, it is very important to choose the right conditions for the plant. Only in this case, young plantings will receive everything they need for a full life cycle.

Sowing seeds

Sowing can be carried out both in individual cups and in a common box. A prerequisite is the presence of drainage holes, which will allow excess moisture to flow out of the soil. This is necessary, as it prevents rotting of the root system of young shoots.

The second point to which you need to pay attention is the reuse of containers. If it is not new, then it must be disinfected without fail. This will protect the planting from infection with various types of diseases that can be transmitted from previous plants.

After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the inner and outer surfaces with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. For new containers, this step can be skipped.

After these manipulations, you must:

1. Place drainage on the bottom and then fill with a fairly light soil mixture, not reaching about 1 cm to the edge. If there is no such soil, then a simple universal will do.
2. If the soil is dense, then you can add a little river sand to loosen it.
3. Use a spray bottle to spray a small amount of water onto the surface to compact the soil.
4. Lay out the seeds and cover them with dry soil.
5. Spray the top with water again.
6. Naturally, water for irrigation must be selected exclusively at room temperature.

Eustoma seedlings care

After the seed is lowered into the ground, future young plants must also be provided with special conditions:

1. Lighting of young shoots for at least 12 hours. Naturally, in winter, this cannot be achieved by a simple arrangement near the window. Therefore, the illumination is done with phytolamps.
2. When the first shoots appear, the temperature should be around 17 ° C.
3. Watering is necessary drip. A spitz or spray bottle is suitable for this. Humidity should be moderate. Therefore, watering is carried out only when the topsoil has dried.
4. The pick is carried out at the age of 2 months. During the same period, it is possible to cull very weak and unnaturally elongated plants. It is important to take into account that it is advisable to transplant each plant into a separate cup, intensively deepening it to the level of the lower leaves.

At this stage, it is also necessary to choose the right time to plant eustoma with already grown sprouts, choosing the optimal dates according to the lunar calendar.

After 7 days after the pick, the young eustoma can be fed. In this case, 20 g of saltpeter is used, which is diluted in 10 liters of water.

Transplant to open ground

And transplanting eustoma for seedlings also requires the correct choice of the period when it is better to do it in 2020 according to the lunar calendar.

In addition to suitable days, you must also make sure that the weather has already become quite stable, and during the day the temperature does not drop below +20 ° C. Nighttime temperature readings should not be lower than +15 ° С.

It is very important to make sure that water does not stagnate in the area chosen for planting young plants. Therefore, it is better to choose small hills for the natural runoff of precipitation and excess watering.

Before planting young seedlings, it is worth fertilizing the soil with humus and nitrophosphate. Between two adjacent plant holes must be kept at least 15 cm.

Florist tips

Experienced flower growers recommend adhering to the following rules:

1. Plant the seeds directly into individual cups, which greatly facilitates the care of the plant.
2. Do not drag too long with planting in open ground. The fact is that the established too hot and dry weather will negatively affect young plants.
3. Germination of eustoma seed material must necessarily take place in the light.
4. Do not shade the landing.

Summarize

1. It is necessary to select the correct light soil and extremely clean containers in order to plant the seed. This will produce healthy young plants.
2. Landings should not be placed in the shade. They are exposed to direct sunlight and then they try to withstand as long as possible every day under natural light.
3. In no case should you add too much moisture, as this leads to various putrefactive diseases and fungi.
