How to grow peppers on the balcony

Prepare the Materials

Pepper seeds, flower pots, garden soil, shovel, fertilizer, watering can

Planting method

Seed selection

You don't need to buy seeds, just go to the supermarket and buy some red peppers. Open the peppers, pull out the seeds and dry them in the sun, then you’re ready to sow!

Select pot

Prepare a larger flower pot, because peppers can grow very big! Some can grow to more than 1 meter long. If you don’t have any flower pots at home, you can use lunch boxes or plastic boxes.

sowing

Sprinkle the previously dried seeds directly on the ground, and the germination rate of peppers will be very high. If you sow them in spring, you can harvest plenty of peppers in early fall. However, pay attention to shade when planting in summer.

Precautions

Do not plant too densely. In about 10 days, the peppers will sprout. At this time, you can thin out the seedlings appropriately to leave enough space for the peppers to grow. Apply more fertilizer after germination, or apply some organic fertilizer if you want to eat it yourself!

In fact, there is nothing to pay attention to as long as the seeds are planted. Just ensure ventilation and spray pesticide once a month. Next, just wait to pick the peppers!

Editor's suggestion

I grow my own peppers and replace them with new seeds every year. After the plant wilts, pull it out directly. You can choose the seeds from the peppers that grow better that year, dry them and store them.
