Further, the seedlings are rearranged in the sun, for example, on a windowsill.Young plants are irrigated only with warm and settled water using a spray bottle.

By the time the seedlings are transferred to separate containers, there should be 2 true leaves on each sprout. For picking, plastic cups with a diameter of 6 to 8 centimeters are suitable. In order for the bushes to quickly get used to the new conditions, they are hardened in about 2 weeks after planting. The first time the seedlings are left for an hour, gradually increasing the time interval to 8-12 hours a day. As a rule, transfer to open ground is carried out at the end of May.
