Planting method and time of ornamental chili how to grow chili in pot

Ornamental pepper is a kind of plant of Solanaceae, but its ornamental value is not high. It often grows flowers and plants for one or two years. Its stem is very stout, there are many branches and leaves, the flowers are white and the leaves are green. There are many kinds of fruit, the surface is very smooth, shiny, just like a shaped handicraft. There are many kinds of ornamental chili peppers, so let's take a look at how potted ornamental chili peppers are planted.

Planting method and time of ornamental Pepper

The main contents are as follows: 1. Pepper is a kind of plant which likes high temperature and humid climate and is not tolerant to low temperature. The suitable temperature for seed germination was 25-30 ℃. When the temperature dropped to 15-20 ℃, the seed germinated slowly, and almost no germination when the temperature was below 15 ℃.

2. The optimum temperature is 25-30 ℃ in daytime and 18-20 ℃ at night. Pepper has less strict requirements for light, and cucumbers and tomatoes have much lower requirements for light intensity. although they have strong tolerance to weak light, long-term weak light can also cause flower drop, fruit drop or deformed fruit.

3. Pepper seedlings are generally raised in the middle and late February, strong seedlings can be produced in the state of low temperature, and the environmental temperature needed for seedling growth can be artificially controlled. It reached the standard of strong seedling before planting, that is, the stem was thick and short, the leaves were thick and dark, the stems and leaves were intact without diseases and insects, the root system was developed, and the leaves were divided into 8 leaves at the time of planting. The seedling bed was watered before planting in order to reduce the damage to the root system during seedling initiation and shorten the seedling delay time after transplanting.

The main results are as follows: 1. the sowing time is divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing, spring sowing from the end of March to early April, and autumn sowing from mid-late August to early September. The seedling soil can be prepared with special seedling soil. It can also be mixed evenly according to the pond mud ∶ peat soil ∶ perlite volume ratio of 2 ∶ 5 ∶ 1, 75% chlorothalonil 500g for every 1 m3, and installed in a 50-hole hole plate.

2. It can be transplanted and planted about 1 month after sowing and 5 or 6 true leaves. When planting, pay attention to the mud ball can not be loose, in order to reduce root injury, after planting, pour fixed root water, it is better to fully pour through. Planting soil requires rich organic matter, loose and no pollution, no toxic and harmful substances.

3. After 10 days of planting, topdressing was applied every 10 days or so, mainly light and thin, and the aqueous solution of compound fertilizer should be used to ensure that the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutrients was suitable and there was no peculiar smell. After the flower bud, fertilize once a week, and increase and decrease the amount of fertilizer appropriately according to the growth situation. The basin soil should be moist and not too wet.

How to fertilize pepper in pot

1. Base fertilizer: fertilizer in seedling basin, mainly to prepare seedling soil, the substrate must be fertile soil, and sufficient fertilizer must be applied at the same time, otherwise it will affect the development, and 1-2 times of topdressing should be applied at seedling stage depending on growth.

2. Topdressing: pepper is also constantly hanging fruit, constantly harvesting, constantly carrying away nutrients, so we need to constantly replenish nutrition, on the basis of adequate base fertilizer, we should also topdressing many times. When the fruit begins to expand, topdressing "promoting fruit fertilizer" should be continued for 3 times (after each fruit harvest). After entering the full fruit stage, the fertilizer absorption capacity of the root system decreases. Spraying once a week for three times is beneficial to delay senescence, prolong harvest time and improve fruit quality.

Seed treatment and germination of ornamental Pepper

1. Seed treatment: soaking seeds in conventional warm soup. The amount of water used is 5 times that of the seed. Pour the seed into 55 degrees water and stir immediately. After the water temperature drops to 30 degrees, soak for another 8 hours.

2. Sprouting: the soaked seeds are rubbed to remove the mucus on the skin, then wrapped in a wet cloth and placed in a warm place to sprout. In the process of accelerating germination, we should strengthen the turning and scrubbing of the seeds, turn twice a day, and dry the pepper seeds with a washing machine after washing. The pepper seeds can germinate in 5 days at the temperature of 28-30 degrees.

3. Sowing and management: the bed soil is preferably the soil that has not planted eggplant fruit vegetables for three years. The bed soil should be screened, the seedling bed should be leveled, the bottom water should be poured before sowing, and after the water is completely seeped, the germinated seeds should be scattered evenly on it, and the soil should be covered with 1 cm after sowing, and the plastic film should be covered in time to increase temperature and moisturize and promote early emergence of seedlings. Remove the plastic film in time after 70% of the seeds emerge.

The so-called ornamental pepper, of course, is mainly ornamental, but its fruit will dry up when it is too old, and sometimes it will affect its beauty, so it should be picked in time when the fruit is ripe and colorful. When winter is over, you can trim and subtract his old branches and let him replenish his energy and nutrients. When the flowers bloom in the next spring, they will grow new buds, continue to let them blossom and bear fruit, and prolong the ornamental length of ornamental chili peppers.
