This is due to the fact that broccoli seedlings require a large amount of sunlight and low air temperatures - ideally 6-80C (no more than 150).
How to plant
First, cultivate the soil, removing weeds and loosening it, as broccoli loves light soil.
Next, the area is moistened and beds are made according to the scheme: 60x40 cm.
Planting broccoli seeds in the soil is carried out 1 cm deep. 2 seeds are placed in each hole to obtain maximum germination.
How to properly grow broccoli seedlings
How to grow broccoli seedlings from seeds? It is best to grow seedlings in boxes measuring 50x30x25 cm.
You need to lay drainage (small stones) at the bottom, fill it with soil and compact it a little.
Form grooves and water them well, then plant the seeds and cover them.
Should I trim the leaves of broccoli
Is pruning necessary for my Broccoli? Broccoli is an annual plant, so it does not require much pruning.
You only need to trim and remove diseased, yellowed or fallen leaves and stems during the growing season.
This will help keep your Broccoli from becoming infected with pathogens.
How many days does broccoli grow
Broccoli seedlings are grown for 35–45 days until 5–6 true leaves are formed on the seedlings.
Typically, the replanting period is from late April to early May.
It is important to wait until all the spring frosts have gone so that the seedlings do not freeze.
