If you are growing peppers for the first time and have already achieved the growth of strong and healthy seedlings, do not rush to rejoice - the main difficulties are still ahead.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , problems can arise when plants begin to bloom or enter the stage of fruit setting.

What difficulties arise and why exactly they fell on your head - we will figure it out in this article.

For example, if peppers refuse to bloom, the reason may be an excess of nitrogen fertilizers.

But if there are flowers but no ovaries, it is worth assessing the air temperature and the level of humidity in the greenhouse - it is quite possible that these values are too high.

But even at extremely low temperatures, such as temperatures below +12 degrees, ovaries, alas, will not appear.

Finally, sometimes summer residents are faced with shedding, which affects both flowers and ovaries.

Such behavior of plants is affected by excessive drying of the soil. If your watering is well-established, frosts, excess nitrogen and sharp temperature changes (with a difference of 15 degrees) probably interfered.
