Then the seeds must be rinsed under running water and dried thoroughly. After processing, it can be planted in containers.
Separate containers are used for seedlings. Otherwise, when transplanting seedlings to a permanent place, the root system can be damaged.
Each container needs to be drained in the form of a hole in the bottom.This is done so that excess moisture comes out, rather than being stored in the roots. After all, this can lead to their rot.
Container preparation
Before planting seeds, you need to fill the container with light soil: mix sand, humus and ordinary soil, in a 1: 2: 1 ratio.
The soil needs to be watered with a small amount of water and the seeds are planted 3 cm deep, which allows the roots to form at a depth, which increases the resistance of the bush. Then you can fill the planting material with a small amount of the remaining soil and compact it a little.
In the room where the containers will be stored, a temperature of 25 ° C should be adhered to. Only under such conditions is the best seed germination observed. After the first signs of seedlings appear, the temperature can be reduced to 16 ° C.
Soil preparation
In the fall, organic matter must be introduced into the soil in the form of humus or peat. Make sure that the acidity of the soil is low and does not exceed 4%. Otherwise, lime must be added to the soil.
Transplanting ready-made seedlings (with 5 leaves and a height of 15 cm) into the greenhouse should be carried out according to the 50x50 scheme.
Prepare supports for tying the bushes right away. In the open field, the distance between the rows should be about 60 cm, and between the holes 40 cm. You also need to take care of the props.
Care advice
Fertilizers promote growth
The characteristic of the rules for caring for the Orange Miracle pepper involves observing the temperature, timely watering and fertilizing.
Watering

To do this, you need to water once every 3 days and only in the morning. This is necessary to keep moisture in the soil and not evaporate.
If you are growing Orange Miracle bell peppers in a greenhouse, then do not forget to spray the foliage on the bushes. After all, dry indoor air can disrupt the formation of ovaries and fruits.
Temperature regime
The air temperature in the greenhouse should not be lower than 25 ° C. This crop gives good yields only at high temperatures.
In the open field, you need to take care of shading the area with peppers at an air temperature of more than 35 ° C. In this case, the tops will begin to dry, which will lead to a decrease in yield.
Top dressing
Top dressing should be carried out three times during the growing season.
- The first is carried out at the time of the formation of the first shoots. It is necessary to use only phosphorus substances, which accelerate this process.
- The second top dressing consists of potassium compounds. It is carried out during the period of ovary formation. This allows you to speed up the formation process.
- The third feeding, which includes calcium and nitrogen, is carried out during the fruiting period. Thanks to these minerals, the size of the fruits increases and their ripening is accelerated.
Parasites and diseases
Aphid
The main parasite that affects this type of pepper is aphid. To combat it, you need to use drugs such as "Akarin", "Fastak" or "Tanrek".
A solution for spraying is prepared as follows: 1 tablespoon of the drug should be diluted in 10 liters of warm water. Remember to spray only before and after flowering. During fruiting, spraying is prohibited, because this will lead to a violation of the structure of the fruit itself.
Spider mite
You can get rid of such a parasite as a spider mite using a solution of onions or garlic. Onions or garlic must be minced and diluted in water. For 1 tablespoon of gruel, you need to take 1 liter of water. Such spraying is carried out at any time. Hot ground pepper helps with slugs. It needs to be sprayed over each bush. It is better to do this not in windy weather, so that the drug gets to the infected areas.
Fusarium
If the plant has undergone a disease such as fusarium, then you will only have to burn the infected bush.Unfortunately, this fungal disease cannot be cured. It is better to burn the bush away from the garden so as not to infect other crops. Next year, it is better not to plant this culture in this place, because the bacteria will not have time to disappear.
