When is the best time to plant peppers?
Pepper sowing should begin in late February - early March
Do I need to dive pepper?
Since pepper seedlings do not tolerate root injury, it is better to grow pepper without picking, using cassettes for sowing, with a cell size of 6x6 cm or 8x8 cm.
How to grow pepper seedlings?
It is convenient to use peat tablets as a substrate, which should be shed in advance, a ready-made mixture for seedlings, or you can prepare the mixture yourself by mixing soddy soil, sand, peat until a loose substrate is obtained. The optimum temperature for pepper sprouts is +25+27°C. As a rule, shoots appear after 3-10 days, but at lower temperatures, shoots can appear up to 30 days. Single shoots - a signal to remove the film. You should not wait for all shoots, otherwise the first seedlings will stretch. After germination, it is better for seedlings to provide a lower temperature - at the level of + 18 + 24 ° С.
Water the seedlings with a weak solution of mineral fertilizers.
Pepper seedlings tolerate lack of light much better than tomato seedlings, but it is still desirable that the plants do not touch.
Do I need to shape the pepper?
The formation of pepper after planting is one of the important components for obtaining large fruits. First of all, before the first fork, it is necessary to remove all side shoots. Removing a flower in the first fork is also a mandatory operation.
The left first fruits very strongly delay nutrients, delaying the formation and development of higher-growing fruits. It is worth forming a pepper in no more than two stems, each time pinching a branched shoot into one fruit and one leaf.
How to water the pepper?
The root system of pepper is poorly developed, so pepper often suffers from a lack of moisture. Due to water deficiency, flowers fall, fruits are formed small and deformed, the number of buds, flowers and ovaries decreases. Watering should be carried out at least once every 5-7 days using large amounts of water for irrigation: 30-50 l / sq.m.
With good watering, pepper accumulates more dry matter, which means it becomes more useful and tasty.
Moisture deficiency does not allow nutrients to be absorbed and causes growth inhibition and yield reduction, waterlogging of the soil causes wilting diseases in pepper, and low air humidity causes flowers to fall off.
Which pepper is healthier - ripe or unripe?
Peppers can be harvested both in technical and biological maturity. Fully ripened peppers contain more carotenoids and vitamin C than unripe fruits, but unripe peppers contain more folic acid.
