When growing peppers at home, many people think that this is a fairly simple process that anyone can handle.
However, there are a few features that are definitely worth taking into account.
Therefore, it is worth figuring out when and how to plant peppers in order to get an excellent harvest in the end, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Preparing for landing
Before you start growing peppers, you need to prepare all the necessary materials. To plant it, you need to prepare:
• pepper seeds;
• pots or containers for planting;
• nutrient soil.
It is also worth paying attention to the place for planting. It must be sunny and windless. It is also worth looking at the soil moisture, if it is high, it is better to refuse planting, since the root system will simply begin to rot as a result.
What time to choose for planting
Pepper is a crop that prefers a warm climate, so the optimal time for planting depends on the region.
In general, peppers can be sown in the spring when night temperatures do not fall below 10 degrees Celsius. It is a completely different story if it is planted in a greenhouse, in which case planting can be done earlier.
Which landing method to choose
Peppers should be sown in small pots or containers at a depth of about 0.5 cm. After planting, the soil should be moistened, but not over-watered, to avoid rotting of the seeds.
When the plants grow to 10-15 cm in height, they can be transplanted into larger pots or planted in open ground.
Plant care
Peppers require regular watering and moderate fertilization to ensure healthy growth and development.
It is also important to provide the plants with sufficient light, as it loves a bright place. Regular weeding and pruning of shoots will also help improve the yield of the plants.
