Why peppers drop flowers and ovaries: a fatal mistake of most gardeners
No one will argue that there is nothing tastier than juicy peppers picked from your own garden.
However, growing these vegetables can cause a lot of trouble for summer residents, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
Thus, a crop that is sensitive to any changes in care may begin to shed flowers en masse during the flowering period.
Let's figure out why this happens. Spoiler: soil, watering, and even diseases have nothing to do with it.
It turns out that such a phenomenon can be the result of improper feeding of peppers.
If plants receive too much nitrogen, this can lead not only to rapid growth of green mass of plants, but also to suppression of flower opening.
Therefore, the logical solution would be, first of all, to stop overusing nitrogen-containing fertilizers.
In addition, be sure to follow the instructions for use, which are usually located on the packaging of the drug.
And finally, consider the growth phases of the plants. Each of them has its own characteristics and needs. As for the flowering time of peppers, feeding should be especially careful and limited.
