Seedlings

Growing it will not be difficult for any gardener, but you should know that seeds need to be bought in stores every year, collected from last year’s harvest will not work. In regions where a warm climate prevails, seeds can be sown already in February, where the climate is more severe, planting should be postponed until March.

It is better to sow seeds immediately in separate containers to avoid picking in the future, because, as you know, pepper does not tolerate this procedure and is delayed in development. "Gemini" photophilous and thermophilic plant. The first two weeks after planting, the temperature in the room where it is located should be 24-27 degrees, during which time the first sprouts will appear, then it can be moved to a cooler but brighter place. Daylight hours for not mature seedlings should be at least 12 hours.

Planting in the soil

First you need to choose a site. It should be located on a flat surface or on a small elevation, a place where beans, cabbage or grains previously grew was suitable. Pepper prefers loose, carbonate soils. Wells are placed at a distance of 35-45 cm, before transferring seedlings, organic or mineral fertilizers are introduced into them. After the seedlings have been transplanted, watering is mandatory. It is recommended to mulch the soil, which is located around the root neck, this helps protect the root system from overheating and hypothermia, and also helps to retain moisture.

"Gemini" needs to be stepson, usually a plant is formed into one stem. The first bud needs to be cut. When growing pepper in a greenhouse, it needs a garter, this is explained by the large weight of the fruits, because the stem may simply not be able to support their weight. In open ground, a garter is not necessary, since the fruits have less weight.

Fertilizer

Top dressing is applied three times for the entire growing season: the first time 7 days after a dive, or a month after planting, the second during flowering, and the third time when the ovaries begin to form. Pepper needs potash and phosphorus fertilizers, it does not need nitrogen. It is also important to consider that the plant does not tolerate chlorine, and when using mineral fertilizing, you need to carefully monitor that it is not present in the composition.

Cleaning and storage

Harvesting is possible both at the stage of technical maturity, which begins already in July, and when fully ripened, for this you need to wait for a one-color stain of pepper. The optimum temperature for storing the crop is from 7 to 12 degrees, while the room should be well ventilated.

We have been growing “Gemini” in a heated greenhouse for sale for several years. Its price is much higher than that of ordinary pepper. And the yield is excellent, of course, this variety must be carefully looked after, but we are already used to it. Not only do we make money, we close it for ourselves in the winter and eat salads.
