It is required to you
- Pepper seeds, growth factor, capacity for seedling, nutritious soil, water, fertilizers.
Instruction
1. In the beginning make prelanding processing of seeds of pepper. For swelling place sunflower seeds in water which temperature of +50 °C. You keep them in water no more than 5 hours. Then put seeds on damp fabric. In process of drying moisten it with spray. In 2-3 days the seeds have to arise. Such simple measures promote emergence of shoots of pepper already in couple of days after landing. Soaking of seeds of pepper in growth factor is popular. Do it according to the instruction. The growth factor influences the speed of germination of seeds and also helps future seedlings to maintain adverse environmental conditions.
2. Substrate, two-piece humus is necessary for one part of the earth and one part of sand for landing of pepper. On 1 kg of the prepared soil add 1 tablespoon of ashes. Depth of crops of seeds: 0.5-1 cm. If there is opportunity, sow pepper not in boxes, and in individual peat pots. After crops accurately water the soil, cover box with polyethylene film or glass and put to the dark place. Indoor temperature has to be not less than +22 °C.
3. When there are shoots, lower temperature to +18 °C for week. It will prevent pulling of plants. After that again increase temperature to +25 +30 °C. Water pepper seedling in process of substrate drying, but it is not frequent. Too frequent watering can lead to such disease as black leg. Use water for watering otstoyanny, its temperature has to be about +30 °C. Having watered with cold water will make seedling weak, she can ache and die.
4. If indoor air very dry, surely spray plants. During airing protect pepper seedling from drafts. If you have planted pepper in February, consider that daylight hours during this period still very short. Therefore in addition highlight seedling fluorescent lamps from 7 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock in the evening. As soon as seedlings have four real leaflets, make sword-play in separate capacity. Carry out change in the same substrate. During dive keep at plant earth lump on roots. So it will better take root on the new place. Carry out change only of viable and strong plants, and weak throw out.
5. Land pepper to the greenhouse at the end of May, and to the open ground - at the beginning of June when the danger of frosts completely passes. For landing make holes of 25-30 cm in depth. Before disembarkation throw into each hole on granulka of superphosphate and water. You plant pepper in cool weather, it is desirable in the morning. At first provide to the replaced plant sun protection. In due time water pepper and weed the earth from weeds. Surely you loosen the soil that to roots oxygen could arrive. When landing to the greenhouse establish near the growing-up pepper pegs for garter.
6. Make the first fertilizing in week after disembarkation in soil. Consumption of fertilizers: 0.5 grams of ammonium nitrate, 3 grams of superphosphate, 1 gram of potassium on water liter. Make the second fertilizing in two weeks, at the same time double amount of fertilizers. As for organic fertilizers, the chicken dung will approach. For all season it is necessary to make 3-4 fertilizing the divorced chicken dung. Such ratio: 1 part of dung on 10 parts of water. Mineral and organic fertilizing should be alternated.
