Sweet pepper is a capricious crop. The slightest deviation from the rules of care or bad weather can instantly spoil the final result - and there will be no harvest in sight.
If the sweet bell peppers in the garden do not turn red for a long time, you can resort to a trick and make them ripen much faster.
Simple tips will help you harvest a large crop of juicy and sweet peppers and will make the fruits ripen much faster.
The fruits will reach maturity much faster if the crown is formed in a timely manner. The crown bud is removed immediately so that the plant produces lateral shoots and does not stretch in height.
The lower sterile shoots are removed along with the foliage. Removing side shoots, unnecessary foliage and ovaries will help speed up the ripening of peppers.
In mid-August and until the end of the month, a pruning procedure is carried out and leaves that cover the fruits from sunlight are removed.
Timely harvesting will also help speed up the ripening of peppers. Ripe fruits should not remain on the bushes and take away nutrition from other peppers.
