Convivial vegetable garden
It is absolutely not true that in order to grow fruits and vegetables, it is necessary to have many hectares of land or a large garden available. Some varieties of plants can grow very well even in an apartment or on the balcony of the house.
Do you know the Chinese mandarin plant? It’s small, doesn’t require any special care, and can give you juicy fruit even if you place it on the patio or in a bright corner of your home.
Of course, there are also plants that require more space to grow, such as tomatoes for example, which, depending on the variety, can even exceed one meter in height. In this case, it would be advisable to bury these plants in a fairly large garden or vegetable garden.
What about peppers instead? A vegetable loved by Italians, it lends itself to the preparation of healthy and exquisite dishes. Did you know that you can also grow this plant at home? Here are all the tips for having a healthy and bountiful harvest.
How To Grow Peppers At Home: The Foolproof Technique
Among the most consumed and appreciated vegetables by Italians, there are peppers that can also be grown at home, did you know? In fact, we tell you even more: these are among the easiest and most profitable crops in terms of yield, but only if you follow precise rules.
Today you will find out how to grow peppers at home, in a short time and produce a bountiful harvest. We want to share with you the foolproof remedy that will make you bring lots of peppers to your table.
To put this technique into practice, you must first buy a pepper from the greengrocer or supermarket. Cut it in half and collect all the seeds in it.
Alternatively, you can also buy pepper seeds directly from the store. In the first and second cases, it will not be necessary to wait for the seeds to dry, but we can proceed with the sowing immediately.
Get a fairly large pot and fill it with garden soil added with organic fertilizer like chopped eggshells, for example. Make sure the soil is moist enough and well-drained as peppers can’t handle standing water.
Now you will have to start spreading your pepper seeds in the soil that you have put inside the pot and water them once a day: after 3 days you will only start to notice small green shoots.
Don’t forget to place the jar containing the pepper seeds in a cool, shiny but not too bright place, where the sun’s rays don’t hit the sprouts directly.
What happens after just 7 days is even more incredible: the seedlings will now have developed roots and will be ready to grow back. So move the pot to a warm, bright place, remembering to water the soil at least once a day, every day.
After 15 days from the first planting, you can add an organic or organic fertilizer to help the plants grow faster. If you want large, healthy peppers with bright natural coloring, you’ll still need to keep the plant in a sunny spot and water it daily.
If, on the other hand, there is no sun, the plant will become large but weak and break easily, blocking the production of peppers. Pepper is a plant that needs a lot of nutrients, so remember to fertilize it at least once every 15 days.
After 25 days, the plants will already be large enough to prune and plant in separate pots. Take as many (smaller) pots as there are seedlings to bury. Fill them with moist, fertilized soil, make furrows, and bury your plants. Always water regularly at least once a day. After a month, you’ll start to see the first colorful peppers on your plants!
