Description
Soil requirements: Potted peppers are mainly humus-rich soil. It can be configured with peat, garden soil, and organic fertilizer. The appropriate ratio is 1:3:0.5.
Sowing: direct sowing, or soak the purchased pepper seeds in warm water at 50-55°C for 20 minutes to facilitate germination. After the soil is soaked with water, sow the seeds on the soil surface (if on-demand, 2 to 3 seeds per hole Seed), cover the soil about 1 cm, keep the soil moist. It germinates in about 3 to 5 days at 25～30℃, and it is difficult to germinate if it is below 15℃.
Transplanting or thinning: When the sprouts grow to about ten to twenty centimeters, they can be transplanted. If they are not transplanted, they must be thinned, and the weak and excessive seedlings should be removed, leaving only the strong ones. After the pepper seedlings sprout, 2 true leaves can start thinning. Leave the best one in each cup and pull out the rest.
Planting: When the pepper seedlings grow to about 10 cm high, you can start transplanting. Pour the whole cup of soil and seedlings together, and then transplant them to a large pot. After transplanting the potted peppers on the balcony, be careful not to put them in a sunny place. The transplanting time is usually after the sun goes down in the evening. The sunless weather is most suitable for transplanting, and the transplanting is most suitable for transplanting. The pepper seedlings will stand up in a few days.
Daily management: After that, fertilize once every half a month, and add 5-10 grams of compound fertilizer per pot each time. The light requirements are not strict, but insufficient light will delay the fruiting period and reduce the fruiting rate. Note that peppers are drought-tolerant. Water should not accumulate when watering the peppers, and more water is needed during the fruiting period of the peppers. However, do not water the pepper seedlings after they stand up. Let the seedlings grow thicker and do not grow too long, which will affect the fruit hanging in the later stage of the pepper balcony potted planting.
If you want your peppers to bear more fruits, you need not only thin fertilizers and frequent application, but also suitable fertilizers. In addition to the daily topdressing, you can add proper amount of decomposed cake fertilizer under the potted soil when the pepper balcony is just transplanted. Or animal manure.
When the pepper seedlings grow, it is generally possible to fertilize once every half a month. Organic fertilizer is the best. The soil around the roots of the pepper is loosened and put into fertilizer. The fertilizer must be fermented and decomposed organic fertilizer.
Picking: Waiting for the harvest. Because the peppers are grown in pots on the balcony, the place is relatively small. In the fruiting period of the pepper balcony, you can add a small shelf to fix the pepper branches to prevent the peppers from tilting after fruiting.
