However, before we blow them up, we need to gradually get them used to the conditions outside.

Hardening seedlings in inspection

Hardening the seedlings involves gradually getting the plants used to lower temperatures and stronger sunlight To this end, we begin to open the doors and windows of plastic tunnels and greenhouses, as well as near the seedlings growing in houses, on the window sills. Initially, we do it for a very short time during the day, gradually lengthening the time of such ventilation, and finally, at the end of the toughening process, the windows can also be left open at night. The next step is to place the seedlings in a quiet, sheltered place in the garden, but remember to hide them under covers at night.

Hardening the plants should take about 7 to 14 days , depending on the reaction of the plants and the course of the weather. Typically, this process takes only about 10 days. As a result of hardening, the plants become a bit darker, more stocky, leaves and stems may thicken a little. These changes in the appearance of plants are a sign for us that the seedlings are ready to be planted permanently into the ground.
After planting the seedlings into the ground, it is worth spraying or watering the plants using the Superplon K growth stimulator, which supports plant rooting and relieves stress after transplanting. Thanks to this, we will be sure that the newly planted vegetables or flowers will take on and will grow he althily!
