Agriculture / gardening, nurseries, flowers, plants
Italian term or phrase: ripicchettare
From an article about nursery greenhouses and the flower and plant industry, mechanisation of irrigation, sowing etc. "Ripicchettatrici e trapiantatrici prelevano con “dita” estremamente delicate le giovani piante e le spaziano in contenitori con alveoli più grandi; i modelli più avanzati arrivano a lavorare fino a 3.500 pezzi/ora" Any help from greenfingered members would be greatly appreciated!

Explanation:
Ripicchettare: significa trapiantare le piantine dai vasi o dalle cassette in cui erano state seminate in altri contenitori dove le piantine possono essere collocate da sole, oppure a una certa distanza l'una dall'altra.

questo è il significato, non so se in inglese esiste, come in italiano un termine più specifico.

Seeds —There are lots to choose from. Check the growing time on the packet. You don\'t want the seeds to be ready to transplant too early or too late. For most plant varieties, plan on growing them 6 - 8 weeks indoors. Also check the packet to see if pre-soaking is recommended. Some seeds are recommended to be sown directly into the ground.

Planting

Once you have all of the above accounted for, it\'s time to plant the seeds.

Fill the tray with potting mixture. Pre-moisten the mix or peat pots as directed by the instructions on the package.


Larger seeds can be planted individually into the tray or peat pot. Smaller seeds can be very difficult to see. Sprinkle 3 - 4 seeds over mixture in each pot. Press in or lightly cover seeds with potting mix. Do not cover them too deeply with soil.


Cover the tray with plastic wrap. Place the tray in a warm spot out of direct sunlight. Make sure that your soil always remains warm and moist.


When the seeds begin to sprout, take the plastic wrap off.


Place the seedlings in a warm spot to grow. Turn the tray every two days to keep the plants growing straight — plants will always grow towards the sunlight.


Thin or transplant the seedlings when they get 2\" — 3\" tall and have developed true leaves (usually after 2 - 3 weeks). Thinning is done by gently pulling up the young plant or pinching off the stem. Transplant them to slightly larger containers to allow root growth. Lift seedlings carefully by digging them out of the tray with a fork or spoon, taking care not to disturb the tender roots. Keep transplants out of direct sun for a couple of days to prevent wilting.


Feed with a liquid soluble plant food diluted to half strength.


Keep your soil moist but not soggy.
When the danger of frost has passed, transplant your seedlings into the garden, but they must first be \"hardened off.\" Set the tray outdoors in shade for 2 - 3 hours. During the following week, set the plants out a little longer each day, slowly exposing them to full sunlight. After the week is over, transplant the seedlings into the garden. A cold frame is also an excellent tool for gardening and seed-starting.
