Seedling of Bulgarian pepper is traditionally grown:
In this article, you will learn how to plant pepper seedlings and grow plants that are viable for open ground in a concomitant environment.
When growing in indoor conditions seedlingspepper is preferable to place near the windows facing the south, south-east or south-west side. However, in short winter and spring days, pepper, whose seedling does not receive the proper amount of light, also requires additional artificial lighting. The lighting should be carried out in such a way that, in combination with natural light, ensure the total duration of the light day of the plant is not less than 13-14 hours per day. Light sources in this case can be fluorescent lamps of white and daylight, which in its characteristics is certainly close enough to solar, but radiates much less heat. That is why fluorescent lamps need to be placed in close proximity to plants. Experienced proven, the pepper seed of the Bulgarian needs 120-300 watts per 1 sq. Km. m. The use of incandescent lamps during cultivation is inexpedient, and is due to the fact that these devices strongly heat the air, which can bring irreparable damage to plants. If you decide to still use incandescent lamps in the process of cultivation, experts recommend that they be suspended above the leaves at a height of not less than 50 cm. To achieve uniform illumination is possible by rearranging plants, and by turning them by different sides to a light source.
It should be borne in mind that in winter and early springThe air temperature on the windowsill is significantly lower than the overall room temperature. Especially noticeable decrease in temperature at night, when the glaciation of the glass contributes to its decrease by 8-10 ° C. To protect pepper bulb seedlings from the negative effects of hypothermia, in frosty nights it is recommended to transfer plants to the interior of the room. In addition, when airing pepper, seedlings which can suffer, you must either cover the paper, or rearrange. However, in addition to hypothermia on the windowsills, plants can also suffer from overheating, which often occurs near the batteries of the heating system. To avoid the effects of high temperatures, which means - the drying of the soil, experts recommend installing protective screens or shields. These measures will help delay and divert the hot air to the other side of the plants.
Special attention should be paid to the issue,associated with watering pepper seedlings. Water, designed to moisten the soil, must be enriched with oxygen and contain a certain proportion of mineral fertilizers. In addition, pepper, seedling which also requires a preliminary, no less than five hours settling of water, requires the removal of chlorine enriched with useful substances. It is recommended to water it at room temperature, but its heating up to 20-22 ° C is possible. Watering with warmed water will not harm seedling pepper Bulgarian, and perhaps even promote rapid growth. When growing in indoor conditions, pepper, sprouts of Bulgarian pepper also needs to feed the soil in two stages with a break between enrichments of the soil in 10-14 days:
1. The first fertilizing should be carried out when the plants already have 1-2 true leaves. To obtain a feed composition, you need:
2. The second top dressing is carried out approximately 10 days after the first tillage. In this case, it is recommended to increase the dose of phosphorus for the composition two-fold. Traditionally, for quality soil cultivation 10-12 plants, 1 liter of a feed solution is needed. It is very important immediately after each feeding to water the plant with clean water, otherwise pepper, whose seedlings may suffer from direct effects of the composition, will die.
