Sometimes it is not immediately possible to understand what the plant lacked this time.

Some mistakes often lie in the subtleties.

Take pepper, for example. It may not please you with a solid harvest due to a fairly common and at the same time non-obvious mistake.

This miscalculation concerns picking and containers for seedlings.

Pepper has a fairly strong root system.

It requires a spacious container of normal depth.

If you take large cups and sow seeds in them, you can do without picking at all, which saves a lot of time and effort.

If you can’t avoid picking, then it’s better to do it earlier.

The younger the seedlings, the better they tolerate transplanting and the faster they get used to changes.

Experts say that the ideal period for picking is the first true leaf phase.

When the seedlings get stronger, the effect will be different.

You can seriously damage the quality and quantity of future fruits, because the future harvest is created at the seedling stage.
