Growing seedlings

Before planting pepper in a greenhouse (covered ground), it is sown for seedlings. Ground for seeds can be dug out from under trees or bushes, then it is better to calcine it in the oven, laying it on parchment paper on a baking sheet. It is advisable to soak pepper seeds in a light solution of potassium permanganate for 15 minutes. When the earth cools down, but is still a little warm, soaked seeds can begin to be planted.

The earth is poured with a layer of about 6 cm, compacted, grooves are made, and the seeds are put to a depth of 1.5 centimeters. Cover the top with a film and put in a warm place, and when shoots appear, the film is removed.

Landing

About 75 days must elapse before planting in the ground. Seeds sprout splendidly at an average temperature of +27 degrees. After the first leaves appear on the plants planted for seedlings, they are transplanted into separate containers (plastic cups) with a volume of 0.3-0.5 liters.

It's important to know! Seedlings tolerate the transplant very poorly, so after they are planted in separate cups, growth can stop for a while, they undergo the so-called "stress". In order to smooth out this condition, you can spray the plant with Epin.

Watering seedlings of pepper seeds is necessary every 7 days with standing water at a temperature of about + 23- + 25 degrees.

When planting pepper in the ground in a greenhouse, it is advised to distribute 4 plants per 1 square meter, preferably no more. It is not necessary to deepen the plant strongly; the ideal planting option would be as it grew in separate containers. Since pepper does not give lateral roots, there is no sense in deep penetration.

Care

During the growth of a plant, it must be well watered with water and fed with mineral fertilizers, which positively affects the ripening of fruits. The best amount of top dressing in the summer is about 2-3 times. It would be nice to feed the plant during active fruit ovaries.

When plants grow, and the first flowers begin to appear on them, it is imperative to look at where and how they grow. If two fruits are near, then one of them is better to remove. Since all top dressing goes in this case to one fruit. Pay attention to the fact that the fruit looked out of the bush.

Pepper fruits can be harvested both in biological and in technical maturity, but the best option would be to collect in technical and biological maturity, since such fruits contain a large amount of useful substances.
