Growing seedlings
Seedlings react very hard to transplanting
It is necessary to plant seeds for seedlings approximately 70 days before the planned planting of peppers in the garden - in late February-early March.
The most favorable room for good seed germination is with an air temperature of 25 to 28 ° C.
When the first true leaves appear on the seedlings (about 2 - 3 weeks after germination), the seedlings are seated in individual containers with a volume of 300 - 500 ml.
Attention! Sweet peppers do not tolerate transplanting very well, therefore, after being seated in separate cups, growth may temporarily stop. Spraying with the biological stimulant "Epin" can help the seedlings adapt more easily to new conditions.
Transfer
It is necessary to transplant seedlings into the garden after the frost has passed, in the absence of a threat of their return, approximately - in May.
Depending on the geographic location of the site and the climatic conditions of a particular area, the Bulgarian pepper is planted:
- directly into open ground;
- in protected ground - under a film or other covering material.
When transplanting, you need to adhere to certain recommendations: the seedlings are placed at a distance of at least 45 - 50 cm from each other, 4 - 5 plants per m². There is no point in deepening peppers of this variety, because they practically do not let lateral shoots. The depth will be sufficient, similar to that which was during the growth of seedlings in cups.
To form a bush, the leaves and the existing lateral roots after the procedure are removed before the first fork.
