Not picky about the air temperature
According to the description, this variety is suitable for cultivation both in the greenhouse (tunnel) and in the open field. It is better to cultivate it with seedlings, preparing it 2 months before planting in the ground. You need to start sowing seeds around the beginning of March. The best temperature for the growth of seedlings is considered to be of the order of 26-28 ° C.
Seeds bought in a store do not require additional processing, except for soaking for germination. Their germination is excellent, almost 100%.
When a plant has at least 10 full-fledged leaves, it is time for transplanting into open ground. The air temperature should be 14-15 ° С. It is necessary to transfer the seedlings to a permanent place of growth around the 20th of May.
Care
Like any other seedling, pepper seedlings need regular care: watering and feeding.It is necessary to ensure that the soil not only does not dry out, but also is not excessively wet, otherwise liquid stagnation may occur.
As the crop grows, it must be fed at least 3-4 times with various mineral fertilizers. The first feed is applied 10-14 days after the transfer of seedlings to the beds. The next feeding is carried out before the flowers appear, then - during the flowering period and the last time - during the ripening of the peppers.
