How to plant overgrown cucumber seedlings in open ground

Stretching seedlings is noticeable even before the appearance of real leaves. You can sprinkle the stem on the leaves before the leaves until the roots appear. However, during this period it will get stronger and stronger.

Proper preparation for transplanting to open ground

If you do not carry out the above-mentioned variant of burial in cups, you need to overgrown sprouts to plant on a bed or transplant in open ground. It is worth noting the fact that, contrary to the rules of the seedlings "overgrown" perfectly take root and gives good yields .

Transplanting cucumbers to a permanent place consists in the following rules:

1. You need to carefully remove the cups, you can leave the paper bottom. It is impossible to put a cup inside the hole completely, since the paper will be soaked for a long time.
2. should be handled with leaves carefully , weak seedlings can be easily damaged. If done correctly, sprouts stored on the surface will quickly root due to the fresh ground.
3. The soil must be prepared in advance, enriched with fertilizers and ash. The temperature should be warm and stable, and the soil is well heated. To sprouts survived less stress, the soil can be pre-watered with warm water.
4. Plant better in the morning or evening .Water only with heated water. From the tap cold water will negatively affect the growth of cucumbers.

Weak seedlings can easily be damaged during transplantation.

Is it possible to bury

? The method of deepening is considered effective if you put and plant a sprout sideways or twist it in a spiral along the width of the hole. Too deeply deepen and place the root is not worth it.

Disembarkation to produce to a depth of 5-7 cm. .The roots that appear on the stem if it is deepened, will begin to grow rapidly. Gradually, the size of the bushes will begin to recover, lush foliage will appear.

Planting cucumbers in the holes

The holes must be prepared in advance, the soil must be loose and fertile .Inside you can put a remedy for the bear, sawdust and ash. Wash the hole with warm water, put cucumber bushes there by the method of burial. Sprinkle with soil in such a way as to get a dimple in the form of holes.

If you do not leave the groove, it will be difficult to water and feed. So that the moisture does not evaporate quickly, it is necessary to cover the hole on top with grass or straw. Some use coverings with holes for this purpose. Lay it on top of the soil until the seedlings are planted.

. After transplantation, a small depression should be left for irrigation and

fertilizing. Post-plant care for the stretched

1. seedlings. Moisture will promote the growth of new roots, drought is unacceptable.
2. Weak elongated shoots, so that the wind does not rock them, you can tie up or put on the net.
3. To loosen and feed up not earlier than 6-7 days .Loosening the bushes to produce very carefully - this will saturate the soil with oxygen.

Why seedlings are stretched

Gardeners who have gained experience on their own mistakes share their secrets with others. They identify three main reasons:

• violation of the timing of planting cucumbers for seedlings;
• wrong light mode;
• non-compliance with the temperature regime.

Seedlings can be pulled out when light or temperature is disturbed.

If you sow cucumbers too early, the bushes will overgrow in anticipation of stable heat. Depending on the climatic features, sow cucumbers after April 20th .

The lack of light has a detrimental effect on the sprouts and the condition of the leaves, they acquire a pale green tint. Too low temperature slows plant growth, high - promotes abundant growth. Unsuitable temperature regime drives the sprout up.

What to do if the seedlings managed to stretch out

By examining the causal relationships of stretching the seedlings, you can prevent this process. If the sprouts of cucumbers are stretched out, they can be saved before transplanting to the main place.

Special fertilizer for growth will help to avoid pulling seedlings

The main measures to solve the problem:

1. Add additional lighting , if necessary, use artificial light.
2. If cups are too tight to each other, or the planting is thick, they need to be damaged.
3. Helps avoid pulling sprouts potash fertilizers, ash and special products that affect plant growth if applied correctly.
4. You can use the transplant method for larger cups. In order not to injure the root, you can increase the existing cups with strips of cardboard. Nether fill the soil to the level of the first leaves.
5. Overgrown cucumbers are carefully transported to the land plot and transplanted using the burial method.
6. Damaged bushes with a broken stem cannot be saved, other plants have a chance for a successful transplant.

cannot be used as a feed as as it triggers the growth of the green part of the plant.

Overgrowth of cucumber seedlings is not a reason for abandoning its planting on the beds. Correct this situation will allow proper care. Subsequently, in order to avoid stretching upwards, it is necessary to carefully treat the plants at all times of cultivation.
