Features of growing sweet peppers, planting and care
We recommend sowing seeds for seedlings 70-75 days before the intended planting of plants in a permanent place. The optimal temperature for seed germination is 26-28°C.
When true leaves appear on the plants, they are transplanted into separate cups with a capacity of 0.3-0.5 liters.
Pepper does not like transplanting, so do not be surprised if after you have transplanted the seedlings into separate containers, they stop growing for a while. You can “smooth out” the stressful state a little by spraying the plants with Epin.
When to plant pepper seedlings in the ground
After the threat of return frosts has passed, the seedlings can be planted in a permanent location. Some people plant in open ground in May, while others only plant under covering material or under film; it all depends on the climatic conditions of your region.
When planting pepper seedlings in the ground for 1 sq. It is recommended to place up to 4 plants per meter of land, no more. Peppers are planted in the ground without being buried, but in exactly the same way as they grew in cups. Pepper plants, unlike tomatoes, very rarely produce lateral roots, so there is no point in deepening them.
Pepper responds well to watering and fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizers. During the summer, 2-3 feedings are usually done.

- when planting in open soil, allocate places under the plant with good lighting, protected from the winds;
- peppers are tied to supports;
- watering is carried out after sunset with settled water;
- apply mineral fertilizers
at least 3 times per season.
Advice. In order for the pepper to actively grow fruit, the very first ovary on the central fork should be removed.

How to grow and care for a plant
Bagheera pepper is recommended to be grown in areas with loamy soil and good air permeability. Beds where cabbage, peas, and cucumbers were grown in the previous season are well suited for these purposes.
Before sowing seeds for seedlings, it is necessary to process them. To do this, they need to be dipped in a solution of potassium permanganate, and then rinsed with running water. To obtain seedlings, seed is planted in February in seed containers with soil mixture. Then they are covered with film material or glass and placed in a warm place. The preferred temperature regime for seed germination is from +23 to +25 degrees.
Seedlings should be picked at the time when one or two true leaves have formed. Planting of sprouts in a permanent place is carried out 70-80 days after sowing the seeds.
When planting bushes in beds, you must ensure that the distance between them is at least 60 centimeters, and between the rows - at least 40 centimeters. To grow sweet peppers, you should choose well-lit areas, but it is important that the bushes have protection from direct sunlight. It is recommended to feed the plant throughout the growing season. To do this, you should use good quality mineral fertilizers from well-known manufacturers. During use, you must follow the recommendations indicated on the packaging. Thanks to this, productivity indicators will increase. It is recommended to use moderately warm water to water the plant.
