Dolphinium seeds should first be stratified. After, in early March, you can start landing in boxes (with earth peat + compost + river sand) or coconut substrates. Seeds should be sprinkled slightly with earth and poured abundantly, then covering with paper or non -woven material. The optimum fluid temperature +15 ° C is maximum. At higher temperatures, seedlings may not appear at all. After opening 3 real leaves, the dolphinium dive. Water the grown seedling as often as possible, since the peat land, in which it is now customary to plant plants, quickly loses moisture. And the roots of the dolphinium are located on the surface. Therefore, it is important for them to receive watering in time. At the same time, watering is best done either around the plant, or even in the pallet. The shoots of the young dolphinium are too tender, can be damaged by a stream of water.
