How To Correctly Raise Bell Peppers

Bell peppers are a favorite crop among gardeners since it adds a distinct flavor to most dishes

. This type of crop came from the North American and Central continent. Young Bell pepper plants are usually color green. They turn red when they are full grown. Cultivating peppers are very easy to learn and an enjoyable hobby.

MATERIALS NEEDED IN GROWING BELL PEPPERS

The materials needed are garden plot, bell pepper seedlings, mulch, fertilizer and organic insecticide.

STEPS IN PLANTING BELL PEPPERS

Place the seeds in your plot 8 weeks before the frost by utilizing a container that is two inches wide or slightly bigger. But if the temperature or weather conditions outside is not good, wait for a few days before placing the seedlings that you have nurtured outside so that you can ensure that it will grow well. The temperature should be seventy to eighty-five degrees.

Prepare the land by placing a lot of treated manure, compost and fertilizer. The crops should have a space of eighteen to twenty-four inches between them. The rows should have a space of twenty-four to thirty-six inches apart. Do not forget to water the seedlings everyday, especially extremely hot months.

This type of crop likes a moist environment. If the soil does not have enough water, it will develop an unpleasant taste. Use mulch to prevent weeds from sprouting around the peppers and taking the moisture that is for the plant. Mulch can also help retain H2O in the soil. Use organic insecticide in your crops as much as it needs to prevent any pests from destroying the crops. Harvest the produce at any give time after they have developed at an acceptable size.

Aside from the color red, fully grown peppers can be purple or orange depending on their type. Clip the stem of the pepper to remove them from the main plant. The crop will continue to produce peppers until the onset of frost.

Remember that the germination time for the pepper seeds is 6-8 days. Place two tablespoons of fertilizer on each crop after the peppers started to develop.

This will help improve the quality of the plant. Keep the peppers in a place that have adequate humidity and a temperature of forty-five degrees to fifty-five degrees. Use a minimal portion of nitrogen in your crop since it will have a negative effect on the plant. It will just produce a bushy plant that possesses a minimum amount of peppers.
