Features of growing Gogoshary pepper

Pepper is planted in open ground approximately 60 days after the seeds hit the ground. This should be taken into account when determining the timing of planting seeds for seedlings (end of February, beginning of March).
Ideally, plant peppers in individual glasses. If this is not possible, you can use a large shared container for this. In this case, special care will have to be taken when transplanting plants, because this culture painfully tolerates damage to the central root.
The soil used is light fertile. The seeds are buried by 1,5-2 cm and the container is covered with a film to ensure the greenhouse effect. After the emergence of seedlings, the film is removed and appropriate care is provided for the seedlings, including moderate watering and top dressing.
Transplantation in open ground
Seedlings are transferred to open ground when the mercury column of the thermometer is stable at +16 ° C and the threat of return frosts has passed.
Seedlings are planted in pre-prepared and moistened holes at a distance of 25 cm. There should be at least 60 cm between rows.
Further Care
The subsequent care of seedlings is:
- watering as the soil dries;
- regular top dressing with superphosphates and organic fertilizers;
- loosening the soil and removing weeds;
- hilling seedlings.
Planting seedlings with root ball of soil
Disease and Pest Prevention
