In March, summer residents' windowsills are filled with containers with young plants that are gaining strength before being planted in open ground.
To ensure that the harvest in summer and autumn is at its best, the seedlings need proper care in the spring.
From the variety of seedlings on the windowsill, sometimes the puny pepper seedlings stand out. Many plants are covered with green "hair", but the peppers are in no hurry.
In this case, the seedlings need to be awakened with effective fertilizing. For example, some gardeners use tea infusion.
A glass of used tea leaves is poured with 3 liters of boiling water, covered with a lid and infused for 3 days. A plastic bottle or a saucepan are suitable for preparing the product.
After 3 days, strain the infusion and water the pepper seedlings. It is important not to overwater the seedlings, otherwise they may be affected by black leg. This fungal disease in 90% of cases ends in the death of young plants.
