How to pick pepper

What is seedling picking? Picking is the process of transplanting seedlings from a common box into separate pots or cups. Picking is a very important agrotechnical technique that allows you to supply plants with a sufficient amount of nutrition and “accustom” them to transplants. So pepper pick allows you to grow healthy and strong seedlings, which means getting a rich harvest. As soon as the third true leaf has formed on the pepper seedlings (approximately 15–20 days after the seedlings hatch), it is time to pickle.

Step-by-step instructions for picking peppers

A prepared soil mixture based on peat and humus is poured into individual pots, to which turf or field soil and loosening materials, for example, calcined river sand, as well as fertilizers, are added.
2 hours before picking, it is necessary to water the seedlings generously with water at room temperature, then the seedlings will be removed easily and without damage.
After removing the seedling, the lower third of the root of the plant is cut off, this will help develop a fibrous root system. This operation has a good effect on the condition of the plant when growing in a glass, and when subsequently transplanted into the ground.
In prepared pots with soil, the soil must be moistened, leveled, and then small depressions must be made in the center. Peppers should be planted at approximately the same depth at which they grew, a maximum of 1.5 cm deeper.
Carefully holding the seedling, place it in the hole and cover it with earth.After transplanting pepper seedlings, the soil around the stem needs to be compacted a little.
