    Warm, but not hot!

    No less carefully you need to monitor the temperature. Although tomatoes are thermophilic plants, overheating can be no less dangerous than hypothermia.
    If the temperature at night exceeds 22-24 ° (which is not uncommon in the house), then at night the plants spend on breathing almost all the nutrients that manage to synthesize during the day. Seedlings in this case grows thin and lethargic. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a daytime temperature of about 20-18th night - about 16-18 °. At the time of the appearance of the first shoots, the temperature should be even lower:
    16-18 ° - during the day and 12-14 ° - at night.

    However, the temperature of an earthen coma should never fall below 12 ~, otherwise the roots will not be able to actively work and develop. The rule “keep your head in the cold, and your feet warm” must be observed perfectly! To maintain heat in the soil, it is advisable to place containers with seedlings on a stand - an “air cushion” between the bottom of the container and the window sill will help to avoid overcooling of the roots.

    Ablactation is a method that allows you to form a powerful root system in a plant. 2 seedlings dive into one container. After the formation of 2-3 of these leaves in each of them, part of the skin is removed from the stems, the plants are pressed with wounds and fixed with a bandage. After splicing, one of the seedlings is cut above the splicing site.
