Planting and caring for peppers

Planting and caring for peppers includes several simple procedures, the careful and careful implementation of which will allow you to get a good harvest.

First of all, you need to get pepper seedlings. You can grow it yourself from seeds or buy mature and strong seedlings from a gardening store. In the first case, you should think about growing the plant in advance so that the seedlings reach the required size by the time they are planted in open ground. The second method is easier and faster. In addition, by buying ready-made seedlings, you will protect yourself from unnecessary worries about seed germination.

After planting young sprouts, peppers need to be well watered. Watch the water temperature, it should be warm. If you use cold water to water the plant, it is most likely that the pepper will produce a harvest later than expected. During particularly hot weather, peppers should be watered more often.

Planting and caring for peppers is not possible without favorable weather conditions. At low temperatures, the plant grows slowly, and high temperatures have a detrimental effect on the young flowers and ovaries of the plant, which simply fall off.

Pepper needs fertilizing, which should be done several times during growth, it is especially important to do this when flowers form on the pepper. Urea and slurry are excellent fertilizers for peppers.

Throughout the growth of the pepper, it is necessary to loosen the well-dried soil at the base of the plant. You can also add additional soil mixture to the main soil.
