• Sowing vegetable, flower and herb seeds
• Quilting seedlings

• Growing herbs in pots
• Peat
• Perlite
• Coconut fiber
• Clay
• Chalk
• NPK fertilizer
• Salinity: < 1,5g/l
• Structure: 0-10mm
• The product is mechanically pressed, before use we recommend loosening and, if necessary, when the substrate is dry, soak it with water
Sowing seeds
• It is best to carry out from March to June, paying attention to the recommendations given on seed packaging
• We fill a pot or container for sowing seeds with sowing and quilting substrate
• Lightly knead so that the surface is 1-2 cm below the edge
• Very small seeds, e.g. begonias, are well mixed with dry sand, which will facilitate even sowing on the ground for sowing and quilting
• Larger seeds after pouring into a pot partially filled with substrate, cover with a very thin layer of quilting and sowing substrate
• Some seeds (begonia, marinade, impatiens, lettuce, petunia) should not be covered with substrate, only lightly pressed into the ground
• Wet the substrate thoroughly, preferably with a sprayer, so as not to rinse out the seeds
• We cover the pot with foil, glass or transparent plastic and place it in a warm (18-20ºC) and sunny place
• Everyday wearer, removing the cover
• When the first seedlings appear, we discover the flowerpot
• Regularly watering when the surface of the earth dries
• Densely growing seedlings should be quilted
Quilting seedlings
• When seedlings begin to contact leaves and form more than two leaves, they should be quilted, because they may become thin and very long due to lack of light
• To ensure that young seedlings endure transmission better, we water them a few hours before transplanting
• Prepare small holes in a tray or pot filled with sowing and quilting substrate
• When the cuttings are large enough, we carefully remove them and plant them in prepared places, compacting the soil slightly
• Distances between seedlings should be approximately equal to their height
• We plant as deeply as they grew before
• After planting, abundantly but gently water
• After 3 weeks we start fertilizing with minimal doses of fertilizers
Transplanting herbs
• Choose a clean pot with drain holes - larger than the root ball
• Pour the drainage to the bottom of the pot (e.g. expanded clay), then partially supplement with sowing and quilting substrate
• Insert the plant and fill the pot up to 2 cm below the edge of the pot
• After transplanting, lightly knead the substrate and water moderately
• It is recommended to start fertilization 6–8 weeks after transplanting
• Herbs prefer well sunny places
Practical advice
• Sowing boxes should be kept at the constant temperature and humidity possible
• A change in the color of the substrate indicates the state of its humidity and the need for watering
• Excessive watering can lead to the development of algae in the soil
