Another problem that I think I'll be faced is how to sow them in the peat. Do I need to just put them on the peat without making any hole for the root?
I'm not familiar with KL/Selangor area. However I made a few searching in the internet and I found there're a few branch of ACE hardware there. I hope the SM can be found in all ACE branches.....
Thx again for your attention guys....  |
Hi Zul,
You could transplant the plant when you see them growing the the 3rd leaf, I normally take them out with a tooth pick one by one, don't use tweezer as it will hurt the fragile seedling.
I like using 1 peat : 1 perlite (or sand) for the babies, make sure you cover the root with some peat to prevent it from dehydration, drip a few drops of water on the seedling to make sure the roots are covered nicely with peat (never let any part of the root exposed). Place a water tray underneath and in a bright shady place for a week, then slowly introduce to full sun. Always remember to protect them from rain. If you are using a piece of plastic sheet, don't place the plastic sheet just on top the opening of the pot without any ventilation, the hot air gathered inside will cook your seedling!
If you wanna sow them on peat, just sprinkle them on top the moist peat, cover with a piece of cling film on top the pot to provide some humidity. Poke some holes on the film. Of course you will need a water tray too.
Hope this helps, happy sowing!
