Planting seeds
If you do not have a greenhouse, then the seeds should be planted in mid-February and stored in a warm room. For better germination, seeds should be pre-treated with a manganese solution to disinfect them from bacteria. After that, only those seeds that have swollen are selected. The seeds that have floated to the surface must be thrown away, because they are not suitable for germination. After processing, the seeds must be placed on a fabric surface and dried on a battery.
Light, loose soil with a low acid content should be used for planting seeds. The alkali level should not exceed 4%. The ideal soil can be purchased at the store or created at home. To prepare fertile soil, you need to mix garden soil, humus and sand, in a ratio of 1: 2: 1. To increase the looseness of the soil, it is recommended to add 1 glass of wood ash to the mixture. The seeds are planted to a depth of 1.5 cm for better root development.
Growing seedlings
Not worth pouring
The containers should be covered with plastic wrap to create a greenhouse environment. You also need to monitor the correct temperature regime. For the best germination of sweet pepper seeds, a temperature of about 25 ° C is needed. At night, the temperature should be in the range of 15-18 ° C. This is necessary in order to prepare the seedlings for the daily regimen after transplanting to a permanent place.
Seedlings should be watered once every 4 days. Abundant watering is not recommended, because this can lead to decay of the root system. As a result, seedlings will decrease in quantity. Watering should be carried out with warm water, because it is better absorbed by the plant. The film should be removed from the container every 2 days to allow air to enter.
Open ground transplant
Ideal neighbors for this sweet pepper are cucumbers, cabbage, or zucchini. You should not plant potatoes or tomatoes next to peppers, because after these crops the soil is rather poor in useful elements. Transplanting seedlings into open ground should be carried out in early May, when the soil has already warmed up to a temperature of 15-18 ° C.
Before planting, the ground must be watered with warm water and treated with a solution of copper sulfate. This will destroy all bacteria that have been stored in the soil. A distance of 80 cm should be adhered to between rows, and 60 cm between holes. The planting depth is 3 cm. After planting, the beds must be watered and tamped again.
Care
First of all, you need to remember about mulching, which is carried out using straw and humus. Mulch will protect plants from excess weeds and keep the soil from drying out. Crops with tall bushes should be planted nearby to protect the pepper plant from drafts and wind.
Top dressing
Pepper Ramiro needs proper feeding. The main feature of this pepper is that there is no need to buy fertilizers. You can use existing plants and organics. At the moment when flowering begins, feeding is carried out using nettle, dandelion or woodlice tops. The tops should be mixed with a small amount of mullein and peat, and then add 3 tablespoons under each bush. The second feeding is carried out at the time of fruiting. Prepare a solution of bird droppings and water, and pour 1 liter into each bush.
Watering and shaping a bush
Watering the plant should be carried out with water of a certain temperature. It is best to use water at 28 ° C. Before flowering, watering is carried out once a week. If there is hot weather outside for a long time, then you need to water the plants 1 time in 3 days. After flowering, watering is carried out every 2 days. For 1 m2, 10 liters of warm water should be used.
You also need to regularly carry out the formation of the bush. This is necessary for high yields. When the seedling reaches a height of 25 cm, the first flowering begins. It must be removed for the proper development of the bush. The second formation should be carried out after the appearance of the 5th pair of leaves. It is necessary to leave only 3 shoots and remove all weak ovaries. This is done in order to increase the size of the formed fruit.
Diseases and parasites
