Planting seeds

Start with preparing the land for pepper seedlings. It is made independently, or purchased in stores. Enough to mix:

• Garden land 1 part.
• Humus 2 parts.
• River sand part 1.
• Wood ash 250-300 gr.

After the containers are filled, they begin to reject the planting material. To do this, the seeds are sorted, removing damaged, moldy or having an external defect.Seeds bought in the store do not need pre-sowing preparation. But if they are collected by yourself, processing is recommended.

Advice from a summer resident: how to check the quality of seeds. Ordinary s alt is poured into a glass of water, the calculation is 1 teaspoon per 1 liter, stirred, planting material is poured there. What floats to the surface is better not to plant. Take out the seeds, rinse with water and dry.

For disinfection, the seeds are placed in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate for 20 minutes. Those who wish can carry out hardening, so that when transplanted into the ground, the plants are more resistant to cold and heat. To do this, planting material is placed in hot and cold water.

When planting pepper seedlings depends on the climatic features of the region. It is required to calculate the landing time well. Otherwise, the seedlings will overgrow.

Having decided on the days, pre-soak the seeds. They do this so that the planting material germinates.So you can better see which seeds are worth planting, which are not. Take small containers, plant 1-2 seeds. The transplant injures the brittle roots of the culture, and it is easier to transfer to the ground, the seedlings will be taken faster.

After sowing, the pots are covered with polyethylene, so the seeds germinate faster.

Proper care

No matter what time the seedlings were planted, it is necessary to properly care for them. Given only the phase and sign of the zodiac, you will not achieve an excellent harvest. Peppers are grown with special care, as they do not like transplanting. Even picking is hard to bear.

Watering should not be too often, pepper does not like a lot of water, but the soil should not dry out either. Everything is good in moderation.

Seedlings provide enough light, a certain humidity and carry out complex top dressing. At least 2 times when the first 2 true leaves appear, and after 2-3 weeks.

Transplantation to a permanent place of vegetation

Growing in a greenhouse or garden differs in terms of transplantation. It can be transferred to protected ground much earlier, because the greenhouse can be closed at night, keeping the heat accumulated during the day.

The following days will be planted in open ground in 2022.
