We put their peppers in the ground and slightly forgotten about them. Well, not that quite forgotten, and do more important things. A week later I looked into the greenhouse. Plants do not pleased with their appearance, as they were planted, and have remained: no flowers, no new leaves, and do not grown up.
Then we decided that it is in plants with the stress of relocation in a balcony hot conditions "wildlife". We decided to wait a little longer.
As time went on, peppers sat motionless. I asked for it under the pretext of its neighbors in a greenhouse - they fluffed pepper and preparing to bloom. I had to go online and see what might be offended useful plants.
What is the reason for stopping the growth of pepper
As it turned out, the reasons for the slowdown of peppers may be several. It:
- low temperature air;
- lack of water and nutrients;
- bad light;
- or excessive damage to the roots of seedlings burying in the ground.
Solution
Low temperature can try to lift with the help of a rather large stones or hot water bottles placed in the greenhouse. During the day these natural heaters will get heat from the sun, and at night to heat the plant. And you can just wrap the peppers added.
To cope with poor lighting a simple greenhouse will rub the dirt and dust, if it is so dirty that bad transmits light. Do not like peppers and part of the landing, in which case it gets less light, so that if the plants planted very close, it is better to sacrifice a few bushes, but to get a good crop of remaining.
Water scarcity It solved very simply, enough to provide supplemental watering plants. Watering peppers recommended every 2-3 days. If this is not possible, you can set up drip irrigation or mulch to hide the ground around the plants, it will not allow the water to evaporate active, peppers and survive to the next watering.
You can at this point, and to feed them, here are just keen on this is not necessary. The overabundance of fertilizer will increase the weight of hardwood, but does not act on the crop.
damage to roots It can be avoided, if not too fanatically loosen the soil around the roots. It should be done very carefully.
A good option would be to use mulch. And the land will remain loose, and all the weeds can get through this layer.
Too much penetration plants in the ground, leading to a completely unnecessary thickening of the stem. In this case, the stem can crack, broken vascular structure, and the plant does not receive the necessary substances from the soil.
Additional means to obtain a good harvest can become high beds that will provide the plant roots extra warmth. But if the peppers are already sitting in the ground, the construction of these beds should be postponed for the next year.
