To grow large and juicy peppers, it is important to care for them properly.
Watering: the key moment
After transplanting pepper into open ground, it is important to water it well. Repeat watering after 5 days.
In hot weather, water the peppers regularly every 10 days until the first harvest. Then take a break and resume watering when new flowers appear, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Fertilizers: the necessary complex
During the entire vegetative growth stage of pepper, it is recommended to carry out three stages of fertilization.
Use a mixture containing potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. The first stage of fertilization should be carried out 2 weeks after planting the pepper. The second stage - when the first ovaries become noticeable.
The final, third stage should be carried out 2 weeks after the second feeding. Also regularly spray the plants with micronutrients containing boron. This micronutrient promotes the growth of fruits so that they become large and tasty.
Heat protection
At very high temperatures, the dust becomes sterile and the process of pollination and fruit setting stops.
To prevent this, shade the peppers with a shade net or a regular sheet.
Preparing the soil: the key to success
After watering the peppers, loosen the soil around the plants.
Weed Removal: Keep It Clean
Remove weeds from the garden bed promptly and constantly so that they do not interfere with the growth of peppers.
These tips will help you grow healthy, lush bell peppers that will delight you with their great taste.
