Agricultural cultivation of Bulgarian pepper is in many ways similar to agricultural technology of tomatoes. Both cultures are planted in early spring on the seedlings, which in early summer is transferred to the ground.
The productivity of bell pepper is influenced by numerous factors. Some of them are: the time of sowing seeds, the optimum age of seedlings for planting in the ground, soil fertility, etc.
Bell Pepper Seedlings
To plant seeds of pepper for seedlings need in late February. This is due to the fact that with the onset of the calendar spring, daylight hours increase, which has a positive effect on the growth rate of seedlings. It should also be noted that pepper seeds germinate for a very long time (2-3 weeks).
Bulgarian pepper is a very thermophilic plant. Therefore, growing seedlings on the windowsill in the apartment, it is important to monitor the air temperature in the room: it should be at least 22 ° C (the best option is about 25 ° C).
It is believed that the seedlings of the Bulgarian pepper does not need a pick, which it very poorly tolerates.

As a fertilizer suitable humus, superphosphate.
Plants are planted at a distance of about 30 cm from each other in not very deep holes. They can also add compost. Strongly deepen the plants do not need. After transplanting it should be watered with warm water.

During the growth in watering plants need quite often, as the pepper is very fond of moisture (because of its absence, the crop will be minimal). It is necessary to water plants once a week only under a root and only warm water, but not too plentifully.
In addition, the bell pepper plants need feeding.
