What you need to grow chili peppers

To get a good harvest of chili peppers, choose a well-lit location in the garden.

In addition, you need to remove excess shoots on the vegetable bushes.

This is necessary, as they will take away the strength of the plant and thicken the bushes.

Carefully break off any shoots that appear below the first branch.

It is also important to thin out the crown of the plant in parallel.

This is necessary so that the chili pepper is well ventilated and exposed to the sun.

How to properly water chili peppers

Use containers filled with water to water the seedlings.

This will help you see the state of the plant’s root system.

For normal soil moisture levels, adequate drainage is necessary.

Make sure your soil is well-drained and nutritious.

Avoid growing peppers in areas of the garden that are prone to waterlogging.

Stagnant water will damage the roots and can lead to the death of the plant.

Use a watering can or hose for watering. Use water at room temperature.

Rainwater is better for irrigation, as it is less harsh than tap water.

Watering the chili peppers should be regular and generous.

Before watering the plant, make sure the soil is not too wet.

During drought, gardeners recommend increasing the volume and frequency of watering.
