How to dive peppers and when - a few simple steps towards healthy and strong seedlings

Breeding bell peppers is an interesting, but not easy, activity, young seedlings are quite capricious and require careful and careful care. Pepper picking is given special attention, so it is important to know when to pick pepper in 2018 according to the lunar calendar. Many experts believe that picking is not needed at all. However, it depends on the type of sowing of seed material. The lunar calendar appeared earlier than the solar one. People in ancient times found out that the moon affects the processes on our planet and human well-being. Its phases affect the water in the seas, oceans - these are the ebbs and flows. The moon influences the growth of plants. It is her influence that determines the fertile signs of the zodiac. When sowing and picking, you can achieve a beneficial effect on vegetable crops. The roots of young plants are tender, very sensitive to transplantation. Experienced gardeners recommend picking in the early stages of cultivation, then in the future the peppers will be more hardy and strong.

When to dive pepper according to the lunar calendar in 2018

The best months are the end of February, March - a favorable time for picking any seedlings. The frosts have passed, and the daylight hours are already so long that on sunny days you can refuse additional lighting. But, for those who did not have time to plant peppers on time or because of weather conditions, peppers can be dived in April.

The best time to dive pepper seedlings in 2018:

• in February - 21 and 22, 27, 28;
• in March - 1-3, 18.19.24-27.31;
• in April - 17-20.

Is it necessary to dive peppers

The answer to this question is ambiguous. Let's figure out what, in general, a pick is, and why they do it.

Dive is the removal of part of the taproot from seedlings to stimulate the development of lateral and adnexal, which occurs most often when seedlings are planted in individual containers. As a result of it, plants receive a large area of ​​\u200b\u200bnutrition, as well as enough air and light. Picked seedlings have a powerfully developed root system and better hold an earthen clod during transplantation.

The tap root of the plant is usually shortened by 1/3-1/4 of the length before planting in a new container. After such a procedure, the root system of pepper is restored for a very long time, which leads to the slow development of the plant, and sometimes to its death. Therefore, if there is no special need, then it is better not to dive pepper seedlings.

Effect of the phases of the moon on the landing and picking of peppers

The effect of the phases of the moon is approximately the same on all organisms containing water, including plants.

The new moon is a phase of the moon, unfavorable for the growth and development of plants, all the life-giving moisture accumulates in the roots. At this time, it is better to refrain from transplanting.

The waxing moon is accompanied by active growth and prosperity, all the nectar moves from the root system up the stems to the leaves and flowers. This is the most suitable time for the sweet pepper dive procedure. Even in case of damage, the root system will not suffer much, there is a high probability that the seedling will survive.

Then comes the full moon - this is the time when all the food is accumulated in the upper part of the plants - in the leaves and buds. But very soon, all the liquid will begin to move back to the roots. The full moon, like the new moon, is a period of suspension of all planting and transplanting work.

The fourth stage of the Moon is waning. The life-giving juices of plant cultures sink deep into the roots and accumulate there. Nothing bad will happen if you pick during this interval. This is a neutral stage for transplanting bell pepper.

Timing for picking pepper seedlings

An equally important requirement in the successful picking of pepper seedlings is the timeliness of the work itself. Too early separation of seedlings can delay further development or completely destroy the plant, since the seedling will not have enough strength to adapt to new growing conditions. At the same time, postponing the picking can lead to the fact that the roots of the seedlings are intertwined with each other and damage to the root systems during separation cannot be safe.

The optimal time for picking seedlings is 15 - 20 days from the moment the sprouts appear. By this period, 2-3 full-fledged leaves, and not cotyledons, should form on the stems. In plants with only cotyledon leaves formed, the root system is still too weak and the plant is not able to take root in a new place.

What containers to use for picking peppers

To grow pepper seedlings, containers with a diameter of about 8 cm and a height of 14-15 cm are required. It is this volume of soil that can provide the plant with nutrients until it is planted in a permanent place. On sale is a very large selection of various pots and cups specially produced for growing seedlings. If you wish, you can make containers yourself from improvised materials.

Pepper pick: step by step instructions

Before picking, you do not need to water the pepper for several days (2-3 days). This will help prevent damage to the roots - dry soil will better separate from the seedling. Wet soil will be much harder to remove, and the root system under its heavy weight may break off.

Prepared soil should be poured into cups - it should be moderately moist. It is best to pour the soil a little in a large bowl, mix thoroughly to avoid the formation of lumps, and then fill the container with it.

The picking process takes place in several stages:

• You need to take a small spatula or other similar tool (you can use a regular spoon).
• Peppers in a common bowl need to be slightly raised, while it is recommended to hold them by the stems so as not to tear off the roots.
• For each pepper (you need to choose strong specimens), you should select the main root and carefully separate the seedling from the rest.
• Then it is necessary to pinch the tip of the root by ¼ of the total length, thereby stimulating the growth of lateral roots.
• Transplant the plant into a separate container, first making a small depression in the ground and placing a seedling in it.
• Then the pepper roots are sprinkled with earth a little, the soil around the stem is compacted and watered.
• It is not necessary to deepen the roots excessively - the plant must grow at the same level as during germination (the height of the cotyledon leaves), otherwise the processes of decay will begin and the sprout will die.
• After the transplant is completed, sweet pepper seedlings should be placed in a shaded place for up to 2 days, while controlling the temperature regime (should be about 20-22 degrees Celsius).

It happens that after a dive, pepper seedlings will stop growing for a while, this is normal, after the roots adapt to new conditions, growth will resume. Make sure that during this period the seedlings do not get direct sunlight, and that the temperature in the room does not exceed +20 degrees.

Waterlogging the soil at this time should not be, even if the leaves are a little wilted, maintain moderate humidity.

April picks up water, opens flowers.

In April, they continue to care for seedlings of tomatoes and peppers, sow cabbage and cucumber seeds for seedlings. The most responsible and time-consuming procedure at this time is the picking of seedlings. After the snow melts, you need to remove the foliage on the site, which they did not have time to remove from the fall. Plots with strawberries are cleared of old leaves and mustaches. When the earth warms up a little, you can sow dill, lettuce. At the end of the month, seeds of cold-resistant plants (carrots, onions, radishes) can be sown.

In April 2016, the lunar month is almost a week late compared to the calendar month, the most favorable days for sowing vegetable crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage for seedlings fall on the second decade of the month (on the growing moon).

Pepper pick. How to dive seedlings of pepper.

Pepper is a thermophilic crop and is grown through seedlings in many areas. Moreover, to help the gardener, there is now a large selection of garden greenhouses, greenhouses, modern films and covering material, you can grow pepper through seedlings even in the northern regions. Every year new seeds and hybrids zoned for cold regions appear.

Do I need to dive pepper seedlings?

There are two opposing opinions about picking pepper seedlings:

• Some gardeners believe that diving slows down the growth of seedlings, it gets sick for a long time after transplantation, the root system is disturbed, as a result, pepper gives a poor harvest. To do without a pick, you can immediately plant pepper seeds in separate large pots. It is only necessary to take into account that not all seeds can sprout, so several seeds (two or three) can be planted in one container at once, and when sprouts appear and grow a little, you can choose the strongest plant, and remove weak and unnecessary ones. Thus, each pepper plant grows in a separate container before planting in the ground and is not subjected to picking. For such cultivation of pepper seedlings, a lot of sunny space is required, and in spring it is sorely lacking on our window sills in a city apartment.
• Others calmly transplant peppers, dive them and get excellent harvests. The experience of these gardeners suggests that pepper diving helps to stimulate the growth of the root system. The seeds sown first in a small container, where there is not a large amount of soil, does not allow the plant to "fat", but stimulates the reaction of the rapid formation of the plant, aimed at the formation of the fruit. The picking of pepper seedlings is carried out to provide seedlings with a larger area of ​​​​nourishment, thereby causing its flowering and fruiting.

It is up to you to decide whether or not to dive seedlings of pepper, but it must be borne in mind that the root system of pepper is very difficult to recover when damaged and slows down overall growth, so this should be done very carefully, trying not to damage the roots of the seedling.

When should you pick peppers?

We start picking pepper seedlings when they form 2-3 true leaves(this is approximately 30 - 35 days after germination). Seedlings by this time have a good root system, and grown plants need more space and light. Before this period, it is not worth transplanting, with a less developed root system, pepper seedlings are more difficult to transplant, but one should not delay transplanting seedlings, since elongated seedlings are weaker, take root worse and have lower yields in the future.

When to dive pepper?

Auspicious days can be viewed by picking peppers:

Container for picking

you can use different ones: plastic, peat and made independently from improvised material. Containers must be at least 0.5 liters in volume and have drainage holes. It is very convenient to use peat pots, since when transplanting to a permanent place, the root system is not disturbed and the transplant is painless for the plant.

Seedlings before transplanting should be well watered so that the clod of earth around the root does not crumble, but also is not very wet, so that small roots do not break off from gravity.

We fill the selected containers soil for peppers, which is easier to buy ready-made, or you can cook it yourself from peat and humus with the addition of garden soil and sand. We pour the soil into the pot, water it so that it becomes wet, and make a hole. We carefully lower each plant with a clod of earth into the hole, while trying to ensure that the central root does not bend, it is evenly located. Then we lightly compress the ground near the trunk, if necessary, sprinkle it with soil a little and pour it with warm settled water.

When picking, the plant should be transplanted very carefully, the cotyledon leaves should not be buried, but placed at a distance of 1-2 cm from the ground. The stem of the pepper is not able to form additional roots like tomatoes, so deepening can lead to rotting of the stem in the area of ​​​​the root collar. The first one or two days after picking, we try to slightly shade the plants so that direct sunlight does not fall on them.

In order for pepper seedlings to develop well, she food required. We carry out the first top dressing no earlier than 10 days after picking, then with an interval of 10-14 days, top dressing can be repeated. As a top dressing, you can use a solution of calcium nitrate (1 tbsp per 10 liters of settled water).

Pepper seedlings are planted in a greenhouse at the age of 60-75 days. If the plant has developed well, then by the time of planting it has 8-11 leaf blades, branching of the stem, 2-3 flowers and initial fruit set.

Good luck picking seedlings of peppers and high yields!

Properly growing seedlings of pepper is quite difficult. This is a laborious process that takes a long time. Pepper has a fragile root system, the stems of the plant are thin and tender. Pepper picking has been used in agronomy for a long time, it helps to grow healthy and disease-resistant seedlings.

Due to the peculiarities of the structure of the root system, it is much more difficult for pepper to tolerate a transplant than for other vegetable crops. Seedlings recover long enough after planting and very sensitive to soil changes. For this reason, many summer residents doubt whether it is worth picking such a fastidious vegetable.

Despite the disadvantages, the pick has its advantages. It gives the pepper more room for root growth and increases the nutrient uptake area. Seedlings located in a limited container as they grow begin to interfere with each other, growing rapidly, the roots can intertwine with their neighbors, thereby greatly complicating their further transplantation.

It is especially important to dive peppers grown in small cassettes or growing two pieces per container. This will help them continue to fully grow and develop.

Advantages and disadvantages of seedling dive

The main advantages of picking:

1. Yield increase, thanks to the sowing of a large number of seeds;
2. Prevention of breakage and weakness of the plant stem;
3. Diving helps to grow seedlings resistant to strong gusts of wind and with a strong root system;
4. Significantly saves space from the beginning of cultivation to transplanting into the soil;
5. Increases the yield of vegetable crops;
6. Improves the growth of the fibrous type of root system, providing seedlings with all the necessary nutrients and moisture;

Diving Disadvantages:

1. Deterioration of development seedling material due to the active formation of the root system can lead to a change in the ripening period of the fruit;
2. There is a high probability of picking up diseases due to frequent soil changes or provoking mass infection of seedlings;
3. A laborious process that requires extreme care to avoid breaking the roots.

When to perform seating

It is best to carry out an early dive. It will bring more results and help the seedlings quickly master the new soil.

The most favorable time is 20 days after the first shoots when about 2-3 leaves appear on the seedlings.

You can dive even earlier, for example, during the cotyledon period. It is not recommended to plant when 4-6 leaves appear, the roots of the plant are already sufficiently formed, they can be easily damaged.

How to dive

Diving is carried out in several stages:

• Preparation of dishes for seedlings;
• Planting pepper.

Tetrapack can be used as a container for seedlings. These are boxes of juice or milk with a volume of 1 liter. To avoid root damage plant seeds in advance in a separate container, then the picking is not required. But this is not very convenient and they are first sown in one common container. When the seedlings begin to germinate, they can be transferred to separate glasses. It is this procedure that is called picking.

Bell peppers are best planted in February. Early sowing will give a good harvest, as the growing season for seedlings is much longer than for other vegetables. By the next month, the seeds will give from 4 to 6 leaves. You can determine a favorable day for picking by simply observing the seedlings.

Preparation

It is better to prepare for the dive in advance. As a soil, it is necessary to use a special mixture consisting of humus, peat and earth with a small amount of sand.

Percentage of organic fertilizers should fluctuate from 30 to 45% from the total amount of soil. It will not be superfluous to add some mineral fertilizers to the soil.

The amount of fertilizer per 1 cu. soil:

1. Ammonium nitrate - 0.8 kg;
2. Superphosphate - 1.5 kg;
3. Potassium chloride - 0.8 kg.

The prepared soil is laid out in a container designed for diving. Capacity must have a drainage hole through which the water will pass.

There are two opinions regarding watering seedlings before diving. Someone a few days before this stops watering the seedlings in order not to weigh down the soil. And someone, on the contrary, waters it abundantly a few hours before picking, for easier extraction of peppers.

Peculiarities

Immediately after the procedure, seedlings must be determined in a warm place, closed from sunlight for 3 days. It is better to leave the peppers in the same place where they were, and not transfer them to places with a different microclimate. So the adaptation process for the plant will be more successful.

The features of the correct pick include timely use of fertilizers. You need to start feeding from the 10th day, using the following calculations:

For 10 liters of warm water:

1. Superphosphate 40 g;
2. Potassium sulfate 30 g;
3. Ammonium nitrate 10 g.

One plant will take from 50 to 100 ml of top dressing. As a fertilizer, nettle decoction or wood ash is well suited.

Before and after feeding, peppers should be watered with plain clean water. Seedlings grown separately from each other need fertilizer already with a few leaves. The second recharge can be carried out after 10 days.

Rules and scheme

The main rule of effective diving is careful and accurate extraction of seedlings from the soil.

The main stages of the picking:

1. We compact the soil in a container, make a small hole in the middle, then pour water into it;
2. Carefully remove the seedling from the common container. If it turned out to take several at once, then we plant the one that is stronger first;
3. Put the pepper in the hole. Roots should be freely located;
4. The depth of the location of the pepper should be the same as before the transplant, an extra deepening can harm the roots;
5. We fill the roots with earth and compact around the stem;
6. We pour water.

How to take care of pickled seedlings

After diving, it is important to follow certain rules for the further care of seedlings. They include:

• Maintaining the right temperature. For the first time after transplantation, the optimal temperature is 20-22 degrees during the day and at least 14 at night. Then from 23-25 ​​degrees during the day and 18-20 degrees at night;
• Seedlings need to be watered regularly.. For the outflow of water, it is necessary to make drainage in each pot. The first watering after transplantation is carried out after 6 days with clean 25-degree water.

Properly organized picking will help grow healthy and strong peppers, as well as get a good harvest.
