During the harvest period, watering is carried out after each removal of peppers from the bushes.
As soon as the plants begin to bloom profusely again, water the beds.
Top dressing
Peppers are fed at least three times during the growing season. Complex preparations are used, which should include nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
The first feeding is carried out two weeks after planting the seedlings in the garden bed. The second during the period of mass fruit setting, then 3 weeks after the last feeding. It is advisable to also feed the pepper with complex micro- and macroelements.
