You will need
  • seeds of geranium;
  • - a shallow bowl or pot;
  • - prepared the ground;
  • glass or plastic bag.
Instruction
1
Geranium is quite easily propagated by seeds. Buy sets of different varieties of this plant. When buying, pay attention to the prescribed implementation period, agronomic data, description, the rate of germination. The seeds can be Packed in single paper bags in double packing with the use of air-tight material.
2
Try to collect seed from existing species. The seed capsule has an elongated shape, resembling the beak of a crane. By the way, this resemblance geranium got its name. At maturity the base tapering seed boxes, rassyhayas, is divided into five parts. Each of them carries one seed. These seeds can spread far and wide. Collect them in time.
3
Prepare the ground. It should not be too fat, because a lot of fertilizer for the germination of seeds is not necessary. Store-bought peat substat necessarily mix with vegetable earth and coarse river sand in the ratio of 2:2:1.
4
For planting choose a shallow container with good drainage holes to allow excess water went through them. An excessive amount of wet lands will enable the development of countless fungi and putrefactive bacteria. In addition, through the drainage holes the germs will get more air. It is needed during seed germination.
5
A pot and a working tool, handle with boiling water. Rinse the seeds in a solution of potassium permanganate. To increase the quality of germination soak them in a solution of Alpin in 3-6 hours.
6
Visivite geranium in February-March. In this case, the seedlings will get more light, plants will develop better and will flower earlier. Pot fill prepared soil, push and pour. For this purpose it is better to use a spray. The seeds evenly across the surface and press it gently to the ground glass. The ground cover is not necessary.
7
Cover the container with glass or plastic film. Put in a bright warm place, but not in bright sunlight.
Watch out for humidity. If a lot of moisture, turn the glass or make a hole in the package. Greenhouse environment for seedlings you need: with the rapid drying of soil increases the concentration of salts. It is the death of young plants.
8
Gradually accustom the seedlings to a more dry room air, starting with 15-20 minutes.
Use artificial lighting if the room is dark: daylight length should be 14-16 hours. To of the seedlings curved blades that rotate once in 2-3 days the pot to light different sides.
9
Proceed to swordplay, when there will be 1-2pairs of leaves. The quality of this work depends on further seedling growth. Remove the seedlings very carefully. Use a clean stick or back side of a teaspoon, previously subjected to thermal or chemical treatment.
Polerowanym peg or index finger make a depression in the ground, lower back back and sprinkle the earth. Make sure that the spine is not bent. Long roots can be pinched to one-third of the length. Seedlings keep the leaves in order not to damage the fragile stem.

After the pick, hold the seedlings 2-3 days in the shade, then expose to light. The plants do not stretch, keep at a temperature of 10-15 degrees.
After some time necessary to use growth stimulants.
