And the greens even get sweeter after frost. All are easy to grow, vigorous, nutritious, resistant to cold, and easy to harvest and prepare. This is my shelf with mostly winter hardwood cuttings.Kale contains higher levels of beta-carotene than any other green vegetable, and is also high in vitamin C and calcium. Invest in quality lights for quality seedlings, otherwise you'll end up with leggy stunted seedlings that will perform poorly when transplanted. It can also be daisy chained with multiple lights (You get a discount if you buy a 3 pack). This is a light fixture I always recommend as it is already wired for a standard outlet plug and doesn't need to be wired up. These little "grow light" strips that are usually powered via USB can only really support the indoor plants that do well with ambient light (succulents and other decorative low maintenance varieties), they will never produce healthy vegetable seedlings. Seedlings need 2000-3000 lumens per square foot to grow properly.
We really do need to put a PSA / sticky thread at the top of this subreddit. Often a plant even looking lifeless can be restored if the bark is green underneath. If you don't see the nematodes, then let the soil get near dry, also change the dirt, take the plant and wash off the soil from the roots, cut the roots off that look soggy or are like tiny balls of roots clumped together, put the roots in a solution of like 1 hydrogen peroxide 10 water or 1/5 for about 3 minutes then wash the pot and dry very well, preferably by the sun if warm, then put fresh dirt in the pot with the plant.
Kale seedlings falling over how to#
Wash the pots with dish soap and water if an infected plant was in it and then let it dry in the sun outside if warm, if not, I would say, lean towards terracotta pots if you are reusing them because a good way to disinfect them from nematodes is to use heat like in the oven, look up on your browser how to disinfect terracotta pots from nematodes in the oven, I found the methods though don't remember. If the plant is droopy and the soil is wet, never water and to prevent from loosing all or at least most of your plants indoors, throw it out to be extra careful, don't let any soil of an infected plant get near another plant, nematodes are very contagious to your beloved plants, if you really like the plant, check the soil and it's roots, if you see clear tiny near fruit fly size worms, (use a magnifying glass if you don't have 20/20 reading vision) throw it out immediately, it's not worth loosing your entire crop, I was wanting to start my own plant business, I lost 60 of the 64 plants in my bedroom in my senior year in highschool. If indoors water very carefully, feel the pot and don't water unless the soil is nearly dry or dry. The moral of the story is: light and heat have a big say on how much water a plant needs, the more light the more water, though without heat like 80/85+ ☏ the water should not be much compared to like 93° F. I did find beneficial nematodes, (warms that actually eat nematodes) that is definitely a thing but I didn't know or could find if they can live in potted house plants or indoor plants. We're trying to keep the following list uncluttered, by only adding subreddits of more than 1000 subscribers.Īlso make shure to not over water, I had four plant lights above a four shelf bookshelf, and had 64 plants in my small duplex bedroom in my senior year in HS when I still lived with my mom, a portion of them were on the top of my dresser and four were on the window seal, I over watered them and got a nematode infestation, they are nearly impossible to get rid of, even hydrogen peroxide dose nothing to them because they just tend to go deeper into the plant and kill it completely within minutes, well at least where there is no way of it having life by the next day whatsoever, I searched for everything, then found nothing.
