How and when to plant chili peppers?

Suitable planting time for chili pepper

The planting time of chili pepper is relatively early, usually between February and March every spring, so that it can be transplanted around April. If the planting time is too late, the best transplanting period will be missed, resulting in the delay of the growth of chili pepper and the time of fruiting will also be affected.

Methods and key points of planting chili pepper

1. The requirements of chili pepper on soil are relatively high. It is best to choose soil with a deep soil layer and strong drainage ability. The soil should be plowed before planting, then exposed to the sun after watering, and then the soil should be turned into ridges to facilitate the drainage of water and avoid root rot.

2. Before planting, soak the seeds of chili pepper in water for about 30 minutes, take them out and spread them in the soil, and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Then, wrap them with plastic cloth, which can effectively isolate the air and keep them warm, and then you can wait for the seedlings to grow.

Key points for managing chili pepper

Before the chili pepper blooms and bears fruit, you must pay attention to the amount of watering and avoid overwatering to promote the normal growth of its root system. Generally, it is necessary to apply ordinary organic fertilizer once every half a month. During its growth stage, it is necessary to cultivate the soil in time, and usually more soil should be added to the roots.
