Introduction to the main content: Explanation of pepper planting time and methods in the aspect of green plants and flowers, let's take a look together!
Pepper Planting Time and Methods
Peppers are usually sown in April of spring and June of autumn. Pepper roots are weak and have high soil requirements. It is best to provide neutral or slightly alkaline soil. It is optimal to plant peppers in sunny or gentle slope areas with sufficient light. The seeds should be germinated in advance, covered with about 1 cm of soil after sowing, and sprayed with water to keep the soil moist. The temperature should be controlled between 25-28 degrees Celsius.
Pepper Planting Time
Peppers prefer a warm environment and are usually sown in April of spring and June of autumn when the temperature and humidity are suitable for seed germination. The specific sowing time needs to be adjusted according to the local ecological environment and weather conditions. If the temperature is too high, the sowing time should be postponed.
Pepper Planting Methods
1. Seed soaking and germination
Before planting peppers, the seeds need to be germinated. The common method is seed soaking and germination. Soak the seeds in clean water for 2-4 hours, then soak them in a copper sulfate solution for 5 minutes to prevent diseases such as (T-J) disease. After cleaning, place them in a wooden box, cover with a damp cloth, and proceed with germination.
2. Soil selection
Pepper roots are weak and have high soil requirements. It is best to provide neutral or slightly alkaline soil. Never use acidic soil. If the conditions are not met and the soil acidity is high, lime powder can be used to neutralize the soil. If the alkalinity is high, coal slag can be added to neutralize. Finally, choose a sunny or gentle slope area with sufficient light for planting peppers.
3. Planting
When sowing, evenly spread the seeds on the seedbed, cover with about 1 cm of soil, spray water to keep the soil moist, and control the temperature between 25-28 degrees Celsius. The seeds will germinate in about a week. When the pepper seedlings grow to 5 cm, they can be transplanted. Avoid deep burial during transplanting and cover with a shallow layer of soil, about 2 cm.
Precautions for Pepper Planting
1. The suitable germination temperature for pepper seeds is between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. When the ambient temperature exceeds 35 degrees, peppers can be sunburned, leaves can turn yellow and fall off, and fruits can develop poorly and fall off. It is necessary to provide timely shading to prevent the death of peppers.
2. Peppers are prone to pests during growth, and warm and humid environments can breed bacteria. It is necessary to regularly observe the pepper leaves and fruits. When fruit and leaf damage or rotting and yellowing are found, specialized pesticides can be sprayed to control pests and bacteria.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to pepper planting time and methods, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
