Play with Your Parsley and Plants
I know it sounds weird. The actual term would be to stimulate your transplants but either way you say it - it sounds odd. The truth is that without stimulation of wind and motion your seedlings and transplants will be weak. Moving your hand across your plants is important. It stimulates normal development. Some growers use fans to move wind across their transplants. That is a great idea... but you do have to make sure you keep an eye on moisture. Wind not only stimulates strong stem development it also evaporates water. Touching your plants daily and moving them will help them develop.
This is a new piece of information to me. next time I plan on growing something indoors I'll bare this in mind. But for now all my plants are outdoors and nature is doing all the work for me.
ReplyDeleteThats great you can do it outdoors. The indoor plants become kind of wimps with sensitivity to sunlight and little stem strength. We have to harden them off in stages when taking them outside. Good growing!
