Fresh vegetables in winter are no longer uncommon. Many of these can be found in stores, but most are full of harmful nitrates. One of the most useful solutions is growing home-grown produce. Hot peppers are among the main crops that we can grow at home during the winter months.
Hot peppers form a beautiful shrub that will be a wonderful addition to pots at home. Soon after, you will get small colorful peppers, the fruit of your care.
Decorative varieties of hot peppers, such as Rocks pepper, are best suited for growing in pots. It is specially designed for growing at home. It is planted by seeds. It reaches only 35 cm in height, but carries up to 80 peppers.
A pot with a hole diameter of about 15 cm at the top, about 25 cm deep is needed for planting. There must be a water supply bowl at the bottom. Soil enriched with natural fertilizers is needed.
It is well watered and two seeds are placed in it, at a distance from each other, at a depth of about 8 cm. The pot should be in a warm place and lit by sunlight.
The variety germinates quickly, up to two weeks after planting. Until then, watered twice a week. If the air in the room is dry - three times. When it germinates, the amount of water is reduced so that it does not rot.
White flowers appear on the plant between the 6th and 8th week. If both seeds are caught, they are divided into separate pots. When the flowering is fully open, you have to fertilize it.
This is done by gently stirring each stamen with your little finger and collecting some of the pollen so as not to injure the flower. It is then transferred to other colors. The procedure is repeated 4-5 days in a row. Pollen can be exchanged between the two stalks. After fertilization, all you have to do is water regularly.
After three weeks, the first peppers are formed. The soil can be nourished with a handful of soil enrichment or coffee grounds scattered around the stem. Peppers can be picked at any time.
They can then be dried or ground, eaten fresh or cracked on the hob. Their plant is biennial. Even after it dries, it can be preserved for the next germination.
