How to grow red hot pepper in the suburbs?

This culture needs heat, water and lighting. The best crop in the open field can be obtained if it turned out to be a warm, dry summer. At the same time, do not forget about watering.

Without additional protection, red Chile is usually cultivated in the south of our country. But the varieties mentioned above are tolerant of the conditions of the central region.

Experienced gardeners do this: before warming, they grow a vegetable under a shelter, which is removed with the onset of favorable weather.

At a temperature of +13, the culture stops growing, and at 0 it dies. If the temperature difference is significant day and night, the buds and ovaries fall. The same is possible with overheating of peppers. A shelter protects the plant from excessive cold and heat. Of course, pepper will be more comfortable in a greenhouse or greenhouse, where constant temperature and humidity are maintained.

Shrubby burning vegetables need maximum lighting. In its absence, the plants stretch, become brittle and may break.

Culture develops well only in rich, moist and warm soil. Neutral loams and sandy loams are ideal for such pepper. If the plant does not have enough water, the fruits become small, curved.

Sweet and hot peppers should not grow close together. In order to avoid pollination, in which the bell pepper tastes like bitter, ridges with other crops are placed between them. It is advisable to plant these crops on different sides of any structure.

Low-growing peppers grow best on windows where they are not constrained by anything, and there is always enough light.

Having considered the best hot pepper varieties suitable for the Moscow region, we can say that in this region the culture is grown successfully. To get a good harvest, you just need to follow simple recommendations.
