Growing Ramiro Pepper Seeds

It is recommended to grow vegetables using seedlings. Planting seed directly on the site is advisable only in regions with a southern climate, where the land heats up quickly.

In most of our country, the seedling method of growing crops is applicable. With the appearance of the first shoots, the container with the plants is taken out into the sunlight or covered with a film material.

Preparatory process

In order to sow the seeds of the Ramiro variety, it is necessary to prepare the soil mixture. We combine the organic base, sand and soil from the site in a proportional ratio of 2: 1: 1.

At this stage, you can apply top dressing in the form of a spoonful of wood ash with a complex of mineral fertilizers.

If you prepared the soil mixture yourself, then it needs additional disinfection. Place it in the oven or microwave and heat it.

For growing seedlings, you can buy ready-made soil in horticultural supermarkets.

The seed can be purchased from your specialist shop. However, experienced summer residents use seeds from vegetables that they buy in a food supermarket and are happy with the result.

Before sowing seeds in the ground, you must place them in wet material and leave them there for a couple of days.

It is recommended to treat the seed before planting with special agents that stimulate growth. To do this, the seeds are soaked in the solution for five hours. After that, you need to rinse them in running water and start disembarking.

Individual or common containers can be used for growing seeds.

The seed should be placed in the prepared soil to a depth of about two centimeters and watered well. The container with seedlings must be covered with foil material and removed to a dark room.

The seeds of the Ramiro variety germinate in a warm, at a temperature of more than twenty degrees. With the appearance of the first shoots, the plant must be transferred to a bright room. As a rule, this happens three to four days after planting the seeds.

Seedling care

In order for the seedlings to develop correctly, the following recommendations must be observed:

- temperature regime during the day - no higher than twenty-five degrees;

- temperature regime at night - not lower than ten degrees;

- the room in which the seedlings are located must be well ventilated;

- do not allow excess moisture in the soil;

- stable illumination of seedlings twelve hours a day.

Water the seedlings with warm water. Excessive watering can lead to excess moisture in the soil. This will lead to the development of diseases caused by the fungus, which can destroy the young plant. Using cool water can severely harm the seedlings.

For the normal development of Ramiro seedlings in the room where it is located, there must be high humidity. Additionally, a young plant is irrigated with water from a spray bottle.

An important tip will be the use of potassium humate for irrigation. This will help form a strong root system in the seedlings.

If you originally planted the seeds in a common container, then after two leaves appear on the seedlings, they must be transplanted into different containers.

The seedlings are quite difficult to tolerate diving, so it is better to sow seeds in individual containers from the very beginning.

Half a month before transplanting into open ground, start hardening the seedlings. This will help the plant adapt to the climatic conditions in its permanent location.

For the first few times, leave the containers with seedlings for a couple of hours on the loggia or in the garden, in the future, the time spent in the fresh air gradually increases.

We plant red Ramiro pepper in open ground

Saplings of the Ramiro variety are transplanted to a garden plot in a greenhouse structure. The soil for the culture must be prepared long before this. The earth is dug up and organic fertilizers are applied.

Light soil is suitable for the plant. On-site precursors can be courgettes, cucumbers, carrots or pumpkin. It is not recommended to plant peppers in places where crops of the same family grew before. These include potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes.

In order to prepare the soil for Ramiro peppers, you can apply superphosphate and potash fertilizers.

In the spring, it is necessary to apply nitrogen fertilizers. This will have a beneficial effect on the formation of the bush's foliage, which is an important part of early development. When the crop is blooming, no nitrogen fertilization is required.

Step-by-step scheme for transplanting seedlings to the site

1. In the selected area, pits are formed with a depth of about fifteen centimeters. Seedlings are planted in rows with intervals of half a meter between plants.

It is not recommended to plant the site too densely, the plant will form a lush bush during growth and it will be inconvenient to care for it.

2. Young plants are planted in an open area with an earthy clod around the root system.

3. It is necessary to fill up the roots of the seedlings and lightly trample the top layer.

4. After planting, it is necessary to water the plants well.

5. In order to retain moisture in the upper soil layer, it is necessary to carry out the mulching procedure.Any organic material is suitable for this.

Then the young crop will need about a week to adapt on the site, during this period no fertilization is required.

Pepper Ramiro - plant care

The main activities for caring for a plant are watering, fertilizing and forming a bush.

How to water a crop

It is recommended to water the Ramiro peppers in the early or evening hours, when the sun is no longer so active. You need to use warm water heated during the day.

The frequency with which the plant needs to be watered is determined by the stage of growth:

- until the buds appear - weekly;

- during the period when ovaries appear - twice a week;

- during the ripening of vegetables - every week.

In order for moisture to remain longer in the upper layer of the soil, immediately after watering it is necessary to loosen the soil a little. This must be done very carefully, as there is a risk of damaging the plant's root system.

Top dressing

You can get a fairly rich harvest from a vegetable crop if you use a certain complex of fertilizers. Top dressing must be applied in the form of a solution with water under the plant.

The first time the feeding procedure is carried out a couple of weeks after planting in open ground. For this, a solution of water and organic fertilizer is used.

And during the period when the culture is blooming, it is recommended to irrigate the plant with a solution of boic acid.

Sweeten the fertilizer solution to attract pollinator insects to your area. It is recommended to process the culture in the early or evening hours, when there is no scorching sunlight.

The next time, fertilizer is applied when the plant has faded. To do this, use a solution with superphosphate and potassium fertilizers.

Such feeding will have a beneficial effect on the development of plant roots and the taste of vegetables.

The same procedure is carried out after collecting the first fruits.

Trimming and shaping

Giving the bush a vegetable crop of the correct shape helps to increase yields. This procedure prevents the occurrence of many diseases that can affect the plant.

When the seedlings of Ramiro peppers reach a height of twenty centimeters, it is necessary to cut off the young branches. It is also necessary to remove the first inflorescence, this will contribute to the further development of the culture.

Already at the site, the formation is carried out with the appearance of the tenth leaf on the bush. All shoots are cut off, leaving a few of the strongest ones. It is also necessary to get rid of numerous ovaries, leaving about twenty pieces.

This will provide nutrients to the ovaries that will form large vegetables. It is recommended to carry out such processing by hand.

Treatment of Ramiro peppers from harmful insects and diseases

If you follow all the basic rules for growing the Ramiro variety on the site, the plant will not be attacked by harmful insects and diseases. With an excess of moisture, diseases caused by a fungus can develop.

To fight diseases, it is necessary to use specialized means. They are aimed at increasing the plant's resistance to pests.

If the culture has been seriously affected by the disease, it is necessary to use more powerful preparations containing copper. The use of such funds is allowed no later than one month before the collection of vegetables.

In order to scare away insects from a vegetable crop, you can use products prepared on the basis of folk recipes. A good result can be expected from the use of garlic, onions, wood ash.
