Seed preparation and planting

Seeds of a polyanthus rose are usually referred to as tightly similar. Therefore, preparations should begin at the beginning of February. The seeds should be held for 5-10 minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate, then wrapped in a damp cloth for 10-15 days. Best kept at room temperature. Moisten the cloth as it dries. After two weeks, the seeds can be planted in the ground - deepened no more than 0.5-1 centimeters. The soil must be nutritious and moist. After planting, it is best to cover the container with polyethylene or glass, and then put it in a cool place. In a month and a half, the first shoots will appear.

Two transfers

For the first time, seedlings can be transplanted already at the age of several weeks - three sprouts in one medium container. Watering regularly, protect them from direct sunlight - they will quickly burn young growth.
