How many days will the pepper rise? How many seeds do peppers come from? Tips for growing peppers

Currently, almost every person who has a summer residence site, planting on it such vegetable crops as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers. Despite the seeming simplicity in cultivation, a beginner gardener is quite problematic to get a good crop of such a culture as Bulgarian pepper. Growing and caring for him requires certain conditions and knowledge.

Seeds

Today the choice of seeds in flower shops is huge. Before buying a variety, it is advisable to carefully read the information on the packaging. If you do not have a greenhouse, then the species intended for growing in them, it is better not to buy, because the peppers of that taste and size that grow in such conditions, you will not succeed.

Seeds begin to sow for seedlings in late February or early March. After a few days, the pepper will rise, will depend first of all on the variety, germination, growth conditions. Seeds of this vegetable sprout for a long time, and the culture itself is quite capricious. Unlike the same tomatoes, peppers do not like transplanting. Therefore, if you just plant the seed in prepared soil, it can take from one to three weeks before it sprouts.

In order to accelerate the process of germination of seeds, and also to grow strong seedlings, one should listen to experienced farmers who provide useful tips for growing pepper.

Seed preparation

In order that the seeds of pepper sprouted faster, they must first be washed with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Then put in warm water (but not hot) and hold it for several hours. You can also use special drugs designed to increase the rate of germination of the seed material.

You can also wrap the seeds in wet gauze or cloth, put in a bowl and cover it with a film or lid and put it in a very warm place. Do not forget to just check the moisture of the fabric and moisten it as needed. When the first shoots appear, you can sow the seedlings in the soil.

Seed sowing

If we talk about how many days the pepper will rise, how to ensure rapid germination, one important factor should always be considered. Pepper is a vegetable that needs a warm temperature in the room. Therefore, to ensure rapid germination of seedlings, provide at least +20 degrees.

Considering that pepper - the culture is rather capricious not only with regard to the temperature regime, but also the transplants, it is desirable to plant each seed immediately in a separate pot. Ideal option - peat pots.

When the seedlings reach the right size, you can easily transplant it into the greenhouse without disturbing the roots. If this is not possible, then be careful when picks. Try not to touch the roots of the plant again.

Seedling

So, now we know, through how many pepper rises, how correctly to plant seeds. Next, you need to understand how to properly care for seedlings before landing in a greenhouse or a greenhouse.

If you focus your attention only on why the pepper does not emerge, and after the shoots appear, the seedlings are only watered, then you can hardly wait for a good harvest.

Not only the seeds, but also the growing plants are very sensitive to cold. The temperature for peppers should be no lower than +20 in the daytime and +17 degrees at night. Plant the young seedlings in the greenhouse preferably only after the threat of frost passes. In addition, consider the age of plants. Very sensitive to temperature changes are those that have not yet reached the age of 60 days.

Formation of buds and ovaries

When the plant has four real leaves, the buds begin to gradually form. During this period the pepper seedling should receive maximum illumination. With lack of light, the leaves can start to turn yellow, the plant becomes brittle, the first ovaries easily break off and fall off.

In addition to providing lighting, it is necessary to fertilize young seedlings. Once every 10 days, mineral or organic fertilizers should be added. When plants begin to bloom, they will need an increased amount of nitrogen. An important element in the formation of the ovary is potassium, which is necessary throughout the active period of pepper growth.

How to get an early harvest

In order to collect the early harvest, you need to know not only how many days the pepper will rise, but when it is best to plant seedlings in a permanent place.

To obtain early crops, the plants are planted in the greenhouse after reaching the age of 65 days. Primer is moistened beforehand, loosened. Plant peppers to a depth of about 5 cm. The air temperature should be at least +15 degrees.

It is best to drop the peppers in cloudy weather or in the evening. After planting, young plants need to be fed. Be sure to remember that fresh manure for this vegetable culture is unacceptable, but compost is good.

Proper plant formation

In the proper formation of the bush and the cutting off of the side shoots, not only tomatoes but also Bulgarian pepper are needed . Growing and caring for this plant is not only watering and feeding, but also the timely removal of stepchildren.

Side shoots and leaves are removed until the first fork. If the bush is tall, it should be tied to the support, since the stem can be brittle enough.

Watering

For a good and abundant harvest, watering is as necessary as feeding. Pepper loves moisture and feels in it almost constant need. Its root system is not deep. Therefore, often, especially in conditions of greenhouses, the roots overheat.

With insufficient watering, plant growth can simply stop. It will save moisture, and its development will slow down. Optimum watering - in the morning. Watering is better under the root, often, but not too abundantly. To maintain a constant soil moisture, it should be mulched using special means.

Results

Let's draw conclusions. In order to obtain an early and plentiful pepper crop, the following factors should be considered:

• The type of planting material (be sure to note what conditions are necessary for this culture, how many days will the pepper come after seeding, how resistant the plant is to diseases);
• Conditions of growth of seeds and seedlings;
• Obligatory additional fertilizing;
• Regular watering;
• Timely removal of lateral shoots.

Considering all the factors and creating favorable conditions for vegetable culture, you can get a fairly early and rich crop of peppers.
