February is the time when gardeners begin to prepare for planting seedlings. In this process, many adhere not only to modern methods, but also to traditional folk signs and superstitions.
Therefore, it is worth figuring out what secrets can be used to prepare seedlings this month.
Choosing a day for planting
According to folk beliefs, it is important to choose the right day for successful planting of seedlings. Some believe that certain days are best for planting, for example, days with a waning moon.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the phase of the moon and choosing a day that is associated with growth and fertility.
Before planting, experienced gardeners pay attention to the lunar calendar. This advice may seem pointless, but the experience of many gardeners has shown that the lunar calendar should be used as a guide.
Pre-treatment of seeds
Before planting seedlings, seeds are often treated with special solutions or heat-treated, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
It is believed that this helps protect plants from diseases and pests. Of course, this advice can be called quite rational.
Removing weak shoots
When growing seedlings, it is important to remove weak and diseased shoots to provide better conditions for the development of healthy plants.
There is an opinion that if weak sprouts remain, this can negatively affect the entire harvest.
Signs on this account did not appear by chance. It is believed that it is better to lose some of the sprouts than the entire harvest. Therefore, when growing seedlings, you definitely cannot be "greedy".
Watering on special days
In some regions, there is a tradition of watering seedlings on certain days. For example, in some places, it is believed that watering seedlings on Tuesday attracts good luck and prosperity. And on Sunday, it is better not to water seedlings, as this can lead to death.
Of course, exceptions can always be made based on rational considerations.
Care with love and attention
Finally, it is important to give seedlings enough attention and care. According to superstition, plants sense the energy and emotions of their owner, so it is important to care for them with love and understanding.
This will help the seedlings grow healthy and strong. There is another interesting piece of advice: you need to talk to the seedlings.
This advice may seem pointless, but many people follow it and end up with excellent seedlings.
