Growing Peppers: Helpful Tips to Get a Big Harvest

To have a good harvest on your plot, you need to know what type of soil it has.

Pepper, for example, loves black soil, which is rich in useful elements and is considered the most fertile among others.

But in order to grow a good and rich harvest of pepper, you need to know and follow a number of important rules.

Temperature conditions

Night and day temperature differences do not have a very good effect on the development of pepper bushes. They need warm and comfortable conditions for growth and fruiting.

In closed ground of a greenhouse the temperature should be: on cloudy days 22..24°C, on sunny days 24..28°C, at night 18..20°C. And open ground conditions require a temperature of at least 30°C.

Watering mode

Pepper loves consistently moist soil, so it needs to be watered regularly, at least 1-2 times a week, 1-2 liters per stem.
The soil should not be over-moistened, as this can lead to fungal infection. The water for irrigation should not be cold.

Fertilization

Throughout the growing season, every 21 days, add a variety of natural fertilizers to the soil.
Add 1 tablespoon of wood ash per plant to the root system at least twice a month.

The very next day the soil needs to be loosened.

Caring for bushes

Any pepper variety does not need to be side-sonned or shaped.
Only yellowed and dry leaves, shoots that do not have fruit, and lateral branches that interfere with the main skeleton of the bush are removed.
