Landing

This crop is grown in seedlings. We will have to make efforts to grow high-quality planting material.

Pepper seedlings are grown in small peat pots, since the root system develops rather slowly in plants. For the same reason, the seeds should not be too deep in the soil. It is advisable to add some sand to the seedling soil, this will make it more loose and allow the seeds to germinate faster. The first weeks of the pots cover with cling film to create a greenhouse effect.
When growing in open ground, take into account the fact that this crop must be planted in places protected from the wind as much as possible, otherwise the plant will feel uncomfortable, the amount of yield will decrease significantly.

Pepper does not like drought, but also does not tolerate excess water. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure that the earth around the plant does not dry out.

Also, do not overdo it with watering, otherwise there is a risk of fungal diseases, decay of the plant. Watering is done directly under the root to avoid sunburn.

Do not neglect such an important procedure as pinching, it helps to direct all the energy of the pepper into the fruit, and not into the green mass. With all its advantages, remember that you can not remove stepsons more often than once every ten days. For one approach, you can not remove more than three shoots, otherwise you can harm the plant.

If you grow this variety for the purpose of further sale and plan to transport it, then the harvest should be done while the pepper is in a state of technical maturity.

In order to protect the pepper from the attack of pests, three times a season, process it with a solution of wood ash.

If aphids suddenly attack the seedlings, then urgently treat the plants with a solution of whey (one and a half liters per bucket of warm water). After this, the plants need to be sprinkled with a small amount of sifted ash.
