How to Grow Large Bell Peppers in a Greenhouse: Rules Gardeners Need to Know
Pepper loves warmth and light. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that these needs are taken into account when growing the crop in a greenhouse.
This vegetable does not like sudden temperature changes or too much humidity. The ideal humidity is 60-75 percent. In extreme cases, 85 percent.
The optimal temperature at night is 18-22 degrees Celsius (minimum 15), and during the day it should be around 22-27 degrees (but not higher than 35).
Otherwise, care is no different than if the plants were in open ground.
Don't forget about timely watering. However, you shouldn't overwater. After all, the crop will better tolerate a light drought. After each watering, it is advisable to loosen the soil a little, after all, pepper is very sensitive to soil compaction.
You can use mulch in the greenhouse. This will prevent weeds from appearing, and the moisture will stay in the beds longer. The fragile roots will be protected from temperature changes.
Peppers can be mulched with compost or humus, sawdust, straw or freshly cut grass.
Don't forget about feeding.
In addition, it is important to tie up the plants so that they do not break under the weight of the fruit.
