What is the reason for the slow growth of peppers and why do they develop thin walls when ripening?
There are several reasons for this, which we will examine in more detail.
First of all, it is important to know that pepper should be generative, not vegetative. Generative pepper is a balanced plant that bears fruit.
If we add excessive amounts of nitrogen and organic matter, the pepper will become vegetative – it will have thick stems but weak fruits.
Next, we pay attention to the temperature in the greenhouse - if it is too high and does not differ much between day and night, then the consumption of assimilants decreases.
In other words, the plant’s “breathing” is disrupted, which greatly affects its development.
Another reason is the approach to nutrition. It is important to know that first the pepper increases in size, and then the thickness of the walls.
At the beginning of the growing season, it is necessary to add the required amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium.
Peppers also do not like excessively hot, too dry and too humid air. Therefore, try to provide the pepper with optimal conditions.
