How to plant strawberries for seedlings

Naturally, in order to obtain a bountiful harvest, it is necessary to create the necessary conditions for the plant. With this approach, it will be able to gain vitality and will not be susceptible to various diseases.

Soil preparation

Suitable soil is important for strawberries. It can be prepared in one of the following ways:

1. Take 1 part of sand, vermicompost and peat and mix everything until smooth.
2. Or take 2 parts of turf and mix it with peat and sand, taken in a 1: 1 ratio.
3. Or take 1 part of leafy earth and sand and mix them.

Naturally, if the soil is prepared in this way, it must be disinfected. You need to choose one of these options:

1. The earth is kept for about 20 minutes in an oven at a high temperature.
2. It can be laid out on a cloth and kept flat over steam for 20 minutes.
3. You can also water the ground with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
4. You can simply put it out in severe frost and freeze it for at least 1 month. Thus, all eggs of possible parasites and weed seeds will be destroyed.

If you don't want to mess with the soil for planting strawberries for seedlings in 2020 according to the lunar calendar on your own, you can buy a ready-made substrate.

It is also necessary to pay special attention to the preparation of containers. Individual peat cups are best suited, since then it will be possible to plant strawberries directly in them at a permanent place of growth.

But if this is not possible, then it is enough to take the total capacity. If they have already been used for planting plants, they must be disinfected. To do this, they are cleaned with further processing with boiling water or an intensive solution of potassium permanganate.

Seed preparation

Before choosing the time when to plant strawberries for seedlings in 2020 according to the lunar calendar, it is necessary to take into account the preliminary preparation of the seeds. Strawberries are stratified. It is performed as follows:

1. Dilute potassium permanganate (weak solution) and lower the seeds for about 20 minutes.
2. Then, in a container that can later be closed, a damp piece of cloth is lined on the bottom.
3. Pour seeds on top.
4. Cover with another piece of wet cloth.
5. Close everything with a lid, but it is imperative to leave an opening for air circulation.
6. Kept warm for 48 hours.
7. Then remove the container in the refrigerator for 14 days. It is necessary to moisten the cloth with a spray bottle throughout the entire holding period.
8. After this preparation, the seeds can be planted.

It is this approach that allows the seed to germinate faster, and the sprouts to become more hardened and strong.

Given that all manipulations take a long period of time, it is necessary to determine when strawberries will be planted with seeds for seedlings in 2020 according to the lunar calendar, and only then count back the number of days that is necessary for stratification.

How to plant strawberries correctly

Consider the option of how to plant this crop in peat tablets:

1. It is necessary to select them in such a size that they are at least 24 mm in diameter.
2. Put all the tablets in one large one so that they fit snugly together.
3. Make a depression and place 1 seed each.
4. Sprinkling is optional. It is important to simply cover with foil or glass and place in a warm place with sufficient sunlight for germination.

You need to sow seed material, which has already hatched. Otherwise, even the selection of the period for planting strawberries to obtain seedlings in 2020 according to the calendar, taking into account the lunar phases, may not help. Then you will have to re-sow the plant to get young shoots.

Care

After young plants have hatched, they need to be properly cared for. It is as follows:

1. The emerged plants are kept at a temperature of +24 ° C for 7 days.
2. Then, to exclude increased growth, the temperature indicator is reduced to +17 ° C.
3. The cover should be removed gradually so as not to stress the plants.
4. Moisten as needed, monitoring the condition of the surface layer of the soil.

Landing on the garden

Disembarkation on an open area should be done only when the temperature indicators are set at the level of 15–20 ºС. Plants also need enough light to gain strength. Therefore, it is necessary not to sprinkle the sprouts with earth, but to stretch the film or lay out the glass.

Summarize

Features of growing strawberries:

1. It is imperative to stratify the seeds. They will be hardened enough to resist any disease.
2. You should choose quality seeds.
3. Young plants are very sensitive. Therefore, it is important to provide proper care and conditions.
