Peculiarities of growing

To speed up the process, you must first soak them in a growth stimulator and germinate on a damp cotton pad. Seeds are planted to a depth of 1-1,5 cm, preferably immediately in separate pots to avoid picking.
They are grown at a high temperature (25-27 degrees), first covered with a film and regularly moistened with a spray bottle. During the first month, they highlight, then the total time of additional illumination is reduced so that the seedlings do not stretch. Two weeks before transplanting into the ground, the seedlings are hardened by taking them to the balcony or to the street.
Transplantation in open ground
Seedlings of Regor pepper are transferred to open ground in the second half of May, when at night the temperature does not drop below 12-13 degrees. In this case, the soil should warm up to at least 15 degrees. The site is pre-cleaned, dug up and fertilized with complex mineral fertilizer (40 g per 1 m2) or compost, humus (5 kg per 1 m2). If there is a lot of clay in the soil, sawdust or sand should be embedded in it – up to 1 kg for the same area.
Regor pepper transplantation is carried out by the transshipment method – for this, the pots are watered and the earth is allowed to dry for 1-2 days. The holes are formed according to the scheme 70 * 35 cm. As a result, 1-3 plants should be placed on 4 square meter. The depth of the hole is no more than 10 cm. The roots should fit freely, and the root collar should remain flush with the soil surface. After planting, the plants are watered and mulch is laid (straw, sawdust, wood chips, peat).
Seedlings are transplanted into the ground by transshipment, without contact with the roots.
