Chili peppers are a vegetable that complements various dishes. In the article we will tell you how to grow crops right in your garden and take care of it.
Features of care
Nutritious and moist soil, a well-lit place is suitable for hot peppers. Chili peppers do not tolerate stagnant water, as well as extreme heat and sunburn. The method of sprinkling when watering is also not desirable, so when watering, try not to get on the leaves and stems.
The soil
The best soil for growing chili peppers is humus-rich black soil. The key to healthy soil is the right balance of beneficial bacteria and organic matter.
Watering
Peppers need to be watered only with warm water. Due to too cold water, the fruits grow ugly and also bitter.
In the greenhouse, peppers are watered 2-3 times a week and very abundantly - one watering can for one adult plant. It is very good to water the pepper once a week not with clean water, but with an infusion of fermented grass.
Fertilizer
Chile will be grateful if you treat him with portions of complex mineral fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in spring and summer.
Nitrogen will stimulate foliage growth, phosphorus will help grow roots and fruits, and potassium will improve flowering and strengthen the plant.
