In order for the small snapdragons to thrive properly, they need plenty of space
Does the snapdragon have to be piqued and if so, how?
Snapdragons can be excellently preferred in seed tanks and develop within a few weeks to vigorous young plants. After sowing, it is important to pique the plants so they do not interfere with each other's growth.
When is the snapdragon piked?
Already one to three weeks after sowing, the cotyledons of the snapdragon show up. As soon as the second or third pair of leaves forms, at this time the plants are about five centimeters in size, is isolated. Each seedling now gets its own pot in which he may continue to grow undisturbed.
How is it sporadic?
Follow the steps below to do the following:
Water moderately but regularly
The delicate root system of snapdragons is extremely sensitive to waterlogging, but it is necessary to provide sufficient moisture. Always water when the earth feels dry but does not wet the substrate completely.
Move to the field
As the date of planting approaches, the more often and longer you should put the snapdragons in the fresh air. As a result, they get used to the changed site conditions and continue to grow well into the bed.
Initially you should not expose the small snapdragons to the direct sun. An abrupt change from the sheltered house to the sunshine can lead to sunburn on the leaves, which wither and fall off. This greatly retards the desired flowering.
Tips
After the stress of picking, the small snapdragons are often a bit "piqued". However, they recover quickly and then continue to drift on.
