Why peppers do not grow in an open field greenhouse after planting and what needs to be done
Most gardeners are wondering: why does not pepper grow in the greenhouse? It is necessary that the approach to cultivation be competent - only compliance with this rule will help to get a high yield. A salad vegetable is often found in vegetable gardens, but not every gardener can boast of good success in growing it. Why isn't the pepper growing and what can be done about it?
List of possible problems
When planting and growing this vegetable, a person may encounter a number of certain difficulties.
Seedling problem
Pepper seedlings do not grow, most likely due to bad seeds. This shows up on weak stems. Germination in any case must be checked. If the planting material seems to be puny, despite all the efforts, the pepper will never grow.
If you plant seedlings without first germination, then they may die without ever emerging. The seeds of this vegetable do not germinate well initially.
Often the problem lies in non-observance of the necessary temperature conditions: even if the seeds have sprouted, they may soon dry out, as they are too hot. The greenhouse must be created in such a way that it is possible to ventilate it.
Landing time
Pepper seedlings do not grow for other reasons. This may be due to the wrong planting time. If the buds are not laid on time, the pepper will not bloom, and as a result, the ovary will not appear. This suggests that the wrong dates were chosen before landing.
Pepper seedlings grow poorly with the wrong timing. Planting too early in the open field affects the yield. Moreover, the fruits appear quite late.
Impact of fertilizers
If summer residents are faced with the fact that the seedlings have stopped growing, the question arises of feeding. The absence of an ovary depends on this.
Overfeeding is not good for vegetables. First of all, this concerns an excessively large amount of nitrogen fertilizers. Lack of potassium and phosphorus contributes to poor plant development.
The soil
Why do seedlings wither and all seedlings in the greenhouse grow poorly? The problem may lie in the soil itself. For a good harvest, the soil must be loose and nutritious. Potting mixes bought in advance are the best solution to this problem. Saplings can be in this state, because a person has deeply buried them in the soil, which affects growth.
Nuances when growing vegetables in greenhouse conditions
Only pepper seedlings will guarantee that growing vegetables in the ground will give a good result. It is best to plant vegetables in a place where cucumbers, carrots, onions or cabbage were previously grown. The soil on which potatoes or tomatoes were previously grown will not bring a satisfactory result. It is worth planting a plant in places where their closest brothers used to grow.
Despite the fact that the vegetables are planted in the greenhouse, it is necessary to create the most comfortable conditions. This will help produce a good crop. When transplanting pepper, it is imperative to disinfect the soil. For this, a solution of copper sulfate is used.
You can only grow a good crop in a greenhouse if the seedlings are planted in May. In bad weather conditions, this period should be postponed to the beginning of the season. After picking, the sprouts adapt perfectly to the conditions in the greenhouse. Other factors are also taken into account.
It is important to understand
There must be a distance between representatives of different varieties. Plants need protection from self-pollination. You can get out of this situation in different ways. For example, using a natural wall like planting corn.
Greenhouse and open ground
The vegetable to be grown must be planted in such a way as to prevent damage to the root system, regardless of whether it is a greenhouse or an outdoor vegetable garden. The bed must be at a height, which will ensure a good harvest.
Good weather does not in any way affect the growth of pepper in open ground. It takes quite a long time to ripen the fruits, and as a result, the peppers turn out to be small and not so juicy.
In greenhouses, peppers lack special care. The vegetable must be carefully looked after on open ground. When the soil is protected, it is easier for the crop to provide systematic feeding. With abundant watering, the bushes grow well in height.
The first thing to do
Pepper grows poorly only in the absence of proper prevention of crop diseases. With a lack of this action, the development of vegetables is very poor. At first they wither, and soon they completely die.
The main rules for looking after the plant:
- Watering of seedlings must be done. We also need feeding. For bell peppers, you can use potassium, saltpeter, a superphosphate mixture, or nettle tincture. Recharge begins only after a couple of first leaves have grown on the sprout. After the start of fertilization, top dressing only increases.
- It is necessary to carry out pinching from time to time, removing the lateral processes of the vegetable. However, everyone should know that it is not recommended to carry out the procedure in the cold season. At this time, bell peppers grow poorly. Since the vegetable practically does not tolerate this operation, the pepper seedlings disappear immediately.
- With the appearance of additional sprouts in the pepper, what to do? Gardeners should be aware to remove them, as the shoots not only slow down the growth of the crop, but also create unwanted shade.
- If a woman has grown pepper before, then she should know, as soon as the bush is tall enough, it must be tied up. This will save the vegetable from falling and at the same time form the correct shape.
- A good harvest from peppers doesn't just depend on watering and fertilization. You should also remember about insects. For pollination, they must be regularly introduced into the greenhouse, whether it is growing peppers at home or on a large farm. An effective method is to spray the bushes with a sweet solution.
Nuances with feeding
There can be a lot of answers to the question of why Bulgarian pepper does not grow. One of them is the wrong feeding. It is necessary to use nitrogen or phosphorus in this matter. Phosphorus will prevent the plant from stalling during growth and will strengthen the root system.
Thanks to nitrogen, the green mass will be built in the right direction, which will only benefit the farmer. Greenhouse peppers should not be fertilized with manure as the fertilizer can burn the roots. Better to use ash or a weak solution of nettle. The plant does not like frequent feeding, so they should be introduced very carefully, observing the further behavior of the culture.
Calculation of the ratio of nutrients
Why do peppers wither in a greenhouse? First of all, they need feeding much more than when they are in the open field. Peppers need to add nutrients on time. This is necessary so that the harvest is not lost. The minimum doses not only contribute to normal growth, but also increase the yield by 2 or 3 times.
Why don't seedlings grow at certain stages of growing? There are a few rules to remember. The growing season should be saturated with fertilizers:
- nitrogen prevents plants from drying out, affects the growth and ripening of fruits;
- with the help of calcium, the correct formation of peppers and their further ripening occurs;
- phosphorus is responsible for fruiting;
- with the help of potassium, the plant is grafted.
A few words about the pick
The reason why seedlings do not grow can be difficult to identify. Perhaps the whole problem is the pick. Why does the seedlings grow poorly after this procedure? It must be carried out exclusively in the warm season, otherwise, due to the fact that the fruits do not have time to ripen, gardeners may lose half of their harvest.
Those who insist: "Make a dive" if the plant is weak are mistaken. Thus, it is impossible to revive the culture. When carrying out a pick, there is a chance of damaging the roots, so you should not destroy an already weak plant.
Correct lighting
Why can't peppers grow in a greenhouse after planting? This phenomenon may be the result of poor lighting. Fortunately, this is solved with additional lighting. Special fluorescent lamps will fill the greenhouse with light and change the seedlings beyond recognition.
The question of why the seedlings do not grow or do not take root well can be easily answered by just analyzing the methods of caring for them. If everything is done correctly, then the gardener will soon receive a large harvest of juicy and tasty vegetables.
