How to Grow Sweet Pepper

1. Timely landing is the key to success. Pepper feels most comfortable at a temperature of 20-25 ° C, lower temperatures will significantly slow down the growing process. If you want to plant pepper earlier, then greenhouses or seedlings under film will perfectly cope with this task.
2. Peppers are very light-loving, so make sure that the vegetable always eats sunlight. In the shade, the plant becomes fragile, stretches upwards, and branches break at the first touch.
3. The use of supports when growing is mandatory, in addition, you need to tie and branches, otherwise they will sag and break under the weight of the fruits.
   
   
   
4. Avoid the wrong landing. Deep and small will have a bad effect on growing time, so it is optimal to immerse the pepper in the ground to the seminal leaves. Picking peppers are difficult to tolerate, so you need to think about it in advance: start growing in cups with holes for further transplantation into fertile soil.
5. Pepper is very capricious, hence the high price. He does not like the cold and falls in the heat. He loves water, but does not tolerate flooding. Watering peppers should be often and gradually, and abundant watering is recommended only during drought, when the soil dries up in a day.
   
   
   
6. It is necessary to loosen the soil under pepper, and it should be done at least twice a week. Do this carefully, because the roots of pepper are on the surface and with significant damage the entire bush will wither. You can replace loosening with straw or sawdust: this will make life easier for yourself and the plant.
7. The peppers will not survive without additional feeding, and it is necessary to take care of feeding already from the appearance of the first real leaf. Nitrogen and potassium are the best friends of pepper, phosphorus will also work, the main thing is not to overfeed, since pepper does not tolerate excess fertilizer. Manure cannot be used in any case, otherwise rotten fruits are formed.
   
   
   
8. Pepper is self-pollinated, but cross-pollination by insects is also possible. Keep in mind, sweet and hot peppers should not be grown together, because hot peppers are the ancestor of sweet, hence the likelihood that by the period of ripening all peppers will become spicy.
9. Be sure to protect the plant from parasites: you need to process pepper once or twice per season. To monitor the condition of the fetus is all the time, otherwise sweet pepper will be chosen by caterpillars and with delay will become immune to protective agents.
   
   
   
10. During ripening, the vegetable changes color from green to yellow, red, white and others. If you plan to preserve pepper, do not let the fruits overripe, as in the early stages they are especially good for twisting.
