The yield is much higher in people growing peppers in greenhouse conditions. But, this does not guarantee a good result. The right choice of seeds plays an important role in growing peppers.

Choice variety

Every person, having come to the store, chooses pepper seeds for planting, guided by the pattern on the package. And this is the most common mistake. If in the picture a vegetable is fleshy and large, it is not a fact that it will grow the same on the land.To get the desired result, you need to make a lot of effort.

Any variety of vegetable has its own individual characteristics. Do not rely on a beautiful picture on the package. In order not to make a mistake when choosing planting material, it is better to ask the seller everything about the variety you are interested in. Things to watch out for:

When choosing a pepper, consider the size of the area where it will be grown. Tall crops need a lot of space. They will not be able to grow in greenhouses with low ceilings.
Another equally important factor is also taken into account - the timing of the ripening of pepper. If a person has a large greenhouse, he can afford to plant vegetables with different ripening dates. If you plant the plants at the same time, they will bear fruit for a long period of time. Thus, there will always be fresh vegetables on the table.

The buyer should ask the seller about pest resistance. For more information, it is recommended to ask experienced gardeners about these points.

Growing region and conditions

Illuminated greenhouses help a person not to think about the moment. If the crop does not receive enough light, the expected yield will not occur.

Fruit characteristics

In shape, they resemble a pyramid, a cone, an ellipse, a stick, a cube, and even a circle.

Ripe fruits are smooth to the touch or covered with tubercles. There are thick-walled and thin-walled varieties. In this case, the pulp can be soft or dense and juicy. If a person cannot make a choice, the seller will select the most suitable option for him.

Another parameter that people are interested in when choosing is the color of the pepper. As a rule, choose classic red. Gardeners who love to experiment are happy to plant yellow varieties, white, blue, purple and even green. There are lovers of bright orange, and there are those who want to diversify dishes with a brown vegetable. All of them deserve attention.
