When choosing varieties and hybrids of vegetable peppers, in addition to the color, taste and size of their fruits, you should first of all pay attention to the demanding growing conditions and the length of the growing season of specific plants in order to select exactly those that you can grow without much effort in your summer cottage in middle lane.
Features of cultivation and care
When it is not possible to purchase a greenhouse, you can plant the seeds in small containers so that they have time to germinate before they are transplanted into open ground. This plant is very picky, so it is recommended to sow it in separate peat pots of small diameter. The soil for such purposes is the lightest, loosest and containing the required amount of humus in its composition.
Before planting in the soil, pepper seeds must be processed. To do this, they are placed in water with a temperature no higher than 50 ° C. They must remain there for about 5 hours, that is, until they swell. They are then placed on a damp cloth for 3 days. The room must be at least 20 °C. If pre-planting preparation is carried out correctly, the first shoots can be obtained in one day.
Do you think pepper seeds should be processed?
Not really
After sowing, the soil must be thoroughly watered and covered with plastic film or glass. As soon as the first shoots of pepper seedlings appear, it is necessary to maintain the temperature in the following ranges: 25-28 ° C at night, but not lower than 10 ° C. You cannot water the plant too much, as this can cause great harm (cause disease). In no case should you dry out the substrate where the seedlings grow. Water the plant with warm water - within 30 ° C. If you use cold water during irrigation, the plant will become brittle, after which it may die.
Expert opinion
Filatov Ivan Yurievich, private farmer for more than 30 years
Do not forget about the temperature conditions and the air in the room in which the sprouted seedlings should not be dry. The rooms in which the plants are located must be ventilated, and the plants must be sprayed. Lighting plays an important role in growth; during the month it should be illuminated from 6 am to 8 pm. Before planting seedlings, it is hardened off. What does it mean? The plant gradually gets used to low temperature conditions, wind, rain, and sunlight, exposing it outdoors. The time gradually increases. It should be remembered that maintenance of the installation must be appropriate, and in no case should it be exposed to low temperatures (below 13 ° C and frost).
