Peat Pellet Seedling Starter Planter Pot, Shade and Support
Description
I Had Some Old 36Mm Jiffy Brand Peat Pellets And Decided To Make A Single-Serving Germination Kit For Them. The Shade Covers The Seedling And Acts As A Barrier To Keep Hard Light Out And Moisture In. Easy To Assemble And Successfully Tested. 1. Soak A Peat Pellet In Warm Water Until It'S About 1 1/2" (38Mm) Tall. 2. Place In The Pot. 3. Wait For The Pellet To Cool To Room Temperature. 4. Place A Few Seeds Into The Pellet Per The Seed Packet'S Instructions. 5. Cover With The Shade. 6. Leave Away From The Sun For A Few Days Watering Only When Pellet Turns Light Brown. 7. Cease Using The Shade Once Seedlings Have Grown To 1-2" (25-50Mm). 8. Gradually Expose The Seedlings To Outdoor Conditions Moving Indoors At Night. 9. Cull The Less-Dominant Seedlings. 10. Allow The Dominant Seedling To Form A Rootball Into The Pallet. 11. Transplant Into A Larger Pot With Fresh Potting Soil. Edit: I'Ve Added Two New Pieces Of Support Apparatus, 1/4" (Tested) And 1/8" (Untested) Diameter, To Help Rehabilitate "Legged" Seedlings Which Grew Too Tall, Too Fast And Too Thin To Help Prop Them Up So They Don'T Fall Over And Die.
