Instruction manual
1
Take the time to transplant pepper into the open ground. The fact is that the older the seedlings of pepper, the easier it transfers the transplant procedure. To plant seedlings in the garden should be when 3-4 plants have formed on the plants. Before you begin planting, be sure to mulch the topsoil in the beds.
2
Do not plant plants in open ground until the soil warms up to 16-17 degrees. Pepper is a heat-loving plant and planting in cold soil can destroy young seedlings. That is why it is not recommended in cold weather to water pepper abundantly.
3
Transplant pepper seedlings in open ground in the evening when the heat subsides. Before starting the transplant, pour plenty of pepper seedlings so that the plant can be removed from the container along with a lump of earth. If your seedlings are in peat pots, then you should not take it out of there.
4
Make a hole for pepper transplantation so that its depth is no more than 10 cm. Do not deepen the seedlings too much, as this can lead to decay of the stem. Add humus or compost to the bottom of the hole and fill it to the brim with water. When water is absorbed into the soil, you can plant pepper in a hole. After planting seedlings, sprinkle the hole with soil. Pipette 1 tablespoon of fertilizer into each well with pepper (it’s best to use potash).
5
Having planted the pepper, you can immediately tie it to the pegs, since with an abundant harvest, the stem can simply not withstand the load and break off. Place the pegs at least 20 cm from the stem so as not to damage the root system of the plants.
6
Pepper seedlings take root for about 10 days. After this time, new leaves appear on the plant. As soon as the seedlings have taken root, you can start feeding pepper. For feeding, use the following composition: 0.5 tbsp. tablespoons of urea mix with 1 tbsp. l superphosphate and 1 tbsp. liters of potassium fertilizer, and dilute in 10 liters of water at room temperature. Add one glass of dressing under each bush of pepper.
7
So that sweet pepper does not degenerate into bitter, do not plant bitter and sweet varieties nearby, otherwise the plants will become dusty and your crop will be spoiled.
8
Do not add too much nitrogen fertilizer to the pepper wells. Also, do not bring manure infusion into the beds with transplanted pepper. An excess of nitrogen in the soil will cause the ovaries to not form on the pepper, and existing buds will simply fall off.
