Propagation by seeds

FORUMHOUSE user Ukilful talks about his experience of propagating colored potatoes by seeds.

Before planting, the seeds are heated on a radiator for a week, then soaked for a week.

The soil is being prepared (you can take soil for tomatoes and mix it with vermiculite and agroperlite in a 1:1:1 ratio). The seeds are laid out and sprinkled on top by 0.5 cm.

Shoots appear in a week, and on the ninth day they are picked.

Due to lack of light, the sprouts will begin to rapidly stretch. This problem is solved by a second pick into larger cassettes. At the beginning of May you will have strong plants that can be planted in the beds in the middle of the month.

There is no need to feed the seedlings. The lack of light can be eliminated by backlighting.

Colored potatoes are less resistant to low temperatures. But we will show you what results have been achieved by users of our portal who live far from the south.

Here are colored potatoes with blue and red flesh grown by our portal user Andrey 3812 from Omsk:

Selection and preparation of a landing site

When choosing a suitable place for planting potatoes, you should follow some general recommendations:

The Krasavchik variety bears fruit best in open sunny areas, as it is quite light-loving.
Soil acidity should be no higher than 5-5.5. If the acidity level is higher, the area is dug up and lime or dolomite flour is added to the soil. 500 g of substance is enough for 1 m2.
Preparing the site involves digging it up in the fall to a depth of 30 cm. At the same time, a mixture of manure and a small amount of wood ash is added to the soil.
When digging, manure can be replaced with humus or superphosphate.

Advice! Do not mix wood ash with fresh manure.

Preparation of planting material

Only healthy potato tubers that are free from mechanical damage are suitable for planting. Their surface must be sufficiently elastic.

Preparing tubers of the Krasavchik variety involves pre-heating the planting material. To do this, it is germinated and placed in the sun for a while. Vernalization lasts just over a month (35-40 days) at temperatures down to -15°C. The tubers are laid out in containers in 2 layers.

Before planting, it is necessary to inspect the tubers. Potato sprouts should grow to 1 cm in length. Finally, while still in the boxes, the planting material is sprayed with growth stimulants and preparations against the Colorado potato beetle.

Important! White sprouts that potatoes form during storage must be removed.

Landing rules

The Handsome potato belongs to the category of light-loving varieties, so the beds should be located in the direction from north to south. So, the bushes will be illuminated to the same extent.

The recommended distance between neighboring bushes is 60-70 cm. The row spacing should not be less than 30 cm. Planting material should be buried 10 cm, and the soil should be warmed to at least +8°C.

Advice! Before planting potatoes, you can put a small amount of wood ash, no more than 50 g, in the holes. Thanks to this feeding, the bushes will bear fruit better.
