Gardeners can follow their rules for planting pepper seeds for seedlings in order to achieve good germination, but there are some things that should definitely be avoided.
Fertilizing seedlings – is it important and is it necessary? – you ask, if we are talking about peppers.
How to feed pepper seedlings
You need to follow a simple rule: fertilizers, as an opportunity to replenish the volume of nutrients, should be applied in measured doses and only as needed.
For peppers, potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizers are used, and herbal infusions are used as natural fertilizers.
When using nutritious soil for pepper seedlings, early feeding can be completely avoided - it is not necessary.
Rules for applying fertilizers
Nitrogen with magnesium is added 2 weeks after transplantation. Potassium and nitrogen are added in combination during the flowering period, calcium and potassium – at the beginning of fruit formation.
The danger of overfeeding
Excessive application of fertilizers will cause harm and will lead to poor harvest and death of plants.
