1. Soil selection

The soil for planting colorful peppers should be loose, breathable, drained and fertile.

2. Sowing seeds

After determining the sowing time of colorful pepper, we should pay attention to the temperature suitable for seed germination. Generally, it can germinate when it is not less than 15 degrees Celsius, and the most suitable germination temperature is between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius.

Choose a suitable flowerpot, put the sterilized nutrient soil at the mouth of the pot, and pour water thoroughly. Wait until the water seeps to the bottom, then sow the seeds of colorful peppers evenly in the flowerpot, cover them with a thin layer of fine soil, and water the seedbed again.

If it is a place with relatively low temperature, you can cover the basin with a thin film to keep warm, and then put the flowerpot in a sunlit place. Generally, seedlings will emerge in no more than two weeks. If the temperature rises, it is necessary to open the plastic film to ventilate and cool down, so as not to burn the young seedlings. When the seeds of colorful peppers grow five or six true leaves, they can be transplanted into pots.

Choose a flowerpot with a diameter of 15 to 25 cm and put one or two colorful pepper seedlings in the pot. Wait until a week after planting before pouring diluted compound fertilizer. In the early stage, these fertilizers have been able to meet their growth needs, followed by appropriate topdressing according to the growth of colorful peppers. Note that if you use nitrogen fertilizer in colorful peppers, you should pay attention to the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, too much is easy to grow too much.

Watering should be determined according to the wettability of the basin soil, and water should be controlled in the early stage of flowering, which is good for flower bud differentiation and can also improve the fruit rate.

In addition, the natural pollination of colorful peppers planted on the balcony is more difficult, so artificial pollination is needed to improve the fruit setting rate.
