When and how to plant bell peppers

Bell pepper planting time

The best time to plant bell peppers is from July to December, because there will be fewer pests during this period. However, the sowing time should not be too late, otherwise they will be easily damaged by frost and barely survive, which will also affect their growth. Of course, in the warm areas in the south, they can be planted all year round.

How to plant bell peppers

1. Seedling cultivation

Before planting bell peppers, the soil must be disinfected. It can be exposed directly to the sun to make the soil clean, eliminate bacteria and insect eggs in it, and provide the plants with a healthy growth environment. First spray the seedbed with water, wait for it to penetrate, then sow the seeds and transplant them.

2. Potted plants

Choose the size of the pot according to the size of the bell pepper seeds. You can choose a slightly larger size so that it grows vigorously and its volume will slowly increase in the later stage. Therefore, we need to prepare a larger pot, which can reduce the number of times to change the pot. Apply some farmyard manure in advance. In addition, the soil should be kept loose and the soil should be kept breathable.

3. Ground planting

If it is planted in the open field, you must first apply enough base fertilizer in the field, and then choose to plant in spring from March to May. Be careful not to plant too densely, and keep some space between the seedlings to maintain the distance between plants.

Things to note when planting bell peppers

After planting the bell peppers, you need to observe the growth of the seedlings, water them in time, maintain moisture, and be careful not to cause water accumulation. In addition, you need to weed regularly to reduce nutrient consumption. You can apply some plant vitality agents such as Leaf Treasure and Plant Growth Agent to supplement some nutrients.
