Tomato "Bellandine" F1

* What to do if tomato seedlings have become very elongated?
Tomato seedlings become very elongated when there is insufficient light. In this case, place a mirror next to the seedlings so that the mirror surface faces the window - this significantly increases the illumination of the plants.
Exclude nitrogen from the fertilizers, which promotes intensive growth of seedlings, increase phosphorus fertilizers - this will slow down the growth of plants.
But if the seedlings have nevertheless outgrown, they are cut immediately above the fourth leaf and placed in water with a root formation stimulator (for example: "Kornevin" or "Heteroauxin") so that new roots form faster, and then replanted in more spacious pots with a capacity of at least 1 liter. It should be taken into account that such a procedure delays fruiting by about 10-14 days.
Tall seedlings are transported by wrapping each plant in newspaper and placing them in a box "jack-like".
Before any transportation, seedlings are not watered for 2-3 days - they will be less fragile and will suffer less during transportation.
It is advisable to transplant seedlings in the afternoon and for a couple of days after transplanting, the plants should be shaded from sunlight.
Seedlings are planted in the ground only after the end of night frosts.
