There are many mistakes you can make when growing peppers - fortunately, most of them are easy to avoid.

First of all, you should not plant the pepper too deep. The stem of the pepper may start to rot or grow additional shoots.

Another mistake is dense planting, which causes the development of diseases and stem rot.

It is better to grow seedlings without picking in individual cups. The pepper root system regenerates very poorly at an early age.

You should not water this crop with cold water - it is important that the temperature is at least 20 degrees. In other words, watering from a well is prohibited.

Pepper does not like overdrying of the soil, and therefore it should be watered more often and little by little. Rare and abundant watering is ineffective.

The crop reacts poorly to large amounts of fertilizer. Pepper is especially sensitive to excessive doses of nitrogen.

If the temperature in the greenhouse rises above 35 degrees, it is better to ventilate the greenhouse more often and reduce the temperature in other ways.
