Growing Guide for Green Peppers:
Location:
Plant your green pepper seedlings in a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
Soil:
Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. Incorporate organic matter like compost to enrich the soil.
Planting:
- Space your green pepper seedlings 18-24 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart.
- Plant the seedlings at the same depth they were in their containers, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface.
Care:
- Water your green pepper plants consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Mulch around the green pepper plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
- Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer when the plants start flowering and fruiting.
- Watch for common green pepper pests like aphids and pepper weevils, and use appropriate pest control methods if necessary.
Harvest:
You can start harvesting green peppers when they reach the desired size and color. Use scissors or a sharp knife to cut the peppers from the plant.
