Allow your sweet peppers to settle into their new location without much effort.

The stress that plants experience when changing their habitat can result in slower growth, disease, and even death.

Follow simple recommendations for caring for bell peppers when planting in open ground to ensure the most comfortable conditions for their cultivation.

Seedling bed

Plant peppers in a bed taking into account crop rotation, and the soil should be prepared and fertilized in advance.

It would be a good idea to have some covering material on hand in case of temperature changes to ensure that the peppers are comfortable outdoors.

On light soil for seedlings, form a deep trench or make a level area.

Heavy clay soil will warm up more slowly, and in this case raised beds are the best option.

Fertilizer for peppers

For good growth and fruiting of peppers, fertilize the bed in advance.

To do this, you need to add 1.5 tbsp of superphosphate and potassium sulfate, 1 tbsp of ammonium nitrate per 1 square meter in a bucket of compost.

When planting peppers, add 2 teaspoons of superphosphate, 1 teaspoon each of potassium sulfate and urea, a handful of ash into the hole, mix and pour in 1 liter of water.
