Often, you can hear from many summer residents the idea that the crown flower of pepper must be removed without fail.
But there are those who hold a different point of view.
Therefore, it is worth learning about the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer.
Why remove the crown flower
It is believed that this part of the seedlings must be removed without fail. Otherwise, young plants will spend all their resources on feeding the flower.
The root system may be weak in this case. Also, the growth of green mass will not be so active.
Therefore, it is still worth removing the flower from the seedlings.
If you have already managed to transplant the pepper, then there is reason to think.
What happens if you leave the crown flower
Some people think that the harvest will be extremely weak. But this is not entirely true. It is worth noting that you will collect the very first harvest quite quickly. Moreover, it will be large and fleshy.
However, overall, ripening will occur more slowly. But the peppers will also grow noticeably larger.
If you remove the crown flower that appeared after transplantation, you should expect more active fruiting. Therefore, in this case, you should act at your own discretion.
