Pepper seeds in different parts of the country are planted at different times. It is important to remember one rule: whenever you sow seedlings, this should happen before March 1. It is recommended to plant pepper seeds at a distance of 5 cm from each other and 1.5 cm in depth. It is best to sow in boxes, and to water no more than once a week. After the first shoots appear, bell peppers, the cultivation of which we are considering here, should be moved to glasses or bags.
Outdoor Landing Area
Before planting seedlings in the soil, it is necessary to find a site that will be protected from the wind. Of course, fertilizers should be added before planting in the ground. Now you can start planting seedlings. The plants should be on
40 cm apart, and if you are planting several rows of bell pepper, then the gap between the rows should be at least 60 cm. Planting is best in the evening, and after all work is done, it is recommended to cover the bed with polyethylene. When the plant is strong, the film can be removed. The thing is that at first pepper is still weak, and polyethylene helps seedlings not to freeze on cool nights.
If there are difficulties
It may happen that bell peppers, the cultivation of which should be in full swing, suddenly slow down their growth. In this case, the soil should be lightly loosened, and watering should also be reduced. After some time, it will be possible to return to the weekly watering of the beds, but do not stop the periodic loosening of the soil. It is recommended to use warm water and increase its amount after the plant blooms. Growing bell peppers is not so difficult, but what a tasty and healthy reward awaits you in the end!
