To get a large and tasty harvest of pepper, you need to take care of the seedlings in advance. When growing pepper seedlings, you need to correctly determine the sowing time, pre-sowing seed treatment, prepare the necessary container and soil.
Growing and care
The seeds of the described culture are sown in a moist and rather nutritious soil, which can be made independently from turf, compost, as well as humus and peat. The seed material is deepened by a centimeter, after which it is necessary to cover the containers with foil. Irrigation and feeding will be needed both before and after the pick.
Watering is possible only with warm liquid, by means of a spray bottle. Somewhere 7-10 days before transplanting, the grown seedlings are hardened. Seedlings are transferred to a permanent place when they are 60-75 days old.
Fisht peppers are cultivated in both open and sheltered ridges. The main thing is that there is enough light, as well as a well-fertilized soil mixture.
Bushes must be formed after the stem height reaches 17-20 centimeters. It is from this level that the first branch usually departs. It is recommended to pinch the stepsons. Further, for good development, you need to remove the crown bud. This action will help control plant growth as well as regulate fruiting.
To harvest a tasty and rich harvest of pepper, you need to comply with all the conditions of agricultural technology, and proper care begins with planting plants. Before planting pepper in open ground, it should be prepared. It is also important to take care of the seedlings and planting space in advance.
For good growth of pepper bushes and active fruiting, you need to regularly apply mineral and organic fertilizing to the soil. It is necessary not only to choose the right formulations, but also to use them at the right stage in the development of culture. The frequency of top dressing is always individual. It depends directly on the composition of the land on your site. The poorer the soil composition, the more often you will need to feed the pepper.

However, under certain conditions, this plant can suffer from infections and harmful insects. Before treating peppers for diseases or pests, you need to find out the cause of the problem, otherwise the treatment may be ineffective.
