Growing and care

A plot for pepper is prepared in advance, since the fall. The sunniest place is chosen for it. The soil is carefully dug up, weed roots are removed, humus and mineral complex fertilizers are applied.
Before sowing, the planting material is soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 1 hour, after which the seeds are thoroughly washed and treated with a growth stimulator. They are buried at a shallow depth, 2-4 cm, in a nutrient soil enriched with humus. Pepper vigorously sprouts at high temperatures of + 26 ... 28 degrees.
After the appearance of 2 leaves, they begin to pick the seedlings into separate cups. After such an event, the seedlings may stop growing for a while, since the plant reacts negatively to transplantation. To reduce stress, young bushes are fed with liquid fertilizer. It can be both organic and mineral supplements.
Pepper is transferred to open ground from 10 to 20 May. At the same time, seedlings are planted in a greenhouse. The timing of disembarkation at a permanent place depends on the climatic conditions of the region.
When planting, it is important not to deepen the seedlings too deep, but to plant them at the same level as they grew in cups. Irrigation must be carried out in a timely manner and only with warm water. It is preferable to organize drip irrigation. After each watering, the soil must be loosened and hilled.
Pepper is fed 3-4 times per season. The first two dressings are carried out at the stage of seedling development with organic and complex fertilizers in low concentration. The third is carried out at the stage of flowering with mineral fertilizers. The latter - during the ripening of the fruits of organic matter.
