How long does it take for transplanted peppers to survive? What fertilizer should be used after transplanting pepper seedlings?

Peppers are vegetables that we often eat at home. They can also be used as a side dish to remove the fishy smell of meat. Peppers are usually planted by buying pepper seedlings. If you have seeds, you can also plant them directly with your own seeds. At the beginning, you need to sow the pepper seedlings in pots, and then transplant them to the fields and wait for them to grow further. So how long will it take for transplanted peppers to survive? Do you need to fertilize them?

How long does it take for transplanted peppers to survive?

This mainly depends on whether the transplanting method is correct.

Transplanting peppers is also an important step. You must grasp the time and method. Transplanting peppers is generally carried out from April 1st to 15th, and the ground temperature is stable at around 15-16 degrees.

When transplanting pepper seedlings, it is generally best to do it in the evening or on cloudy days, and avoid transplanting on rainy days. It also depends on whether there is enough base fertilizer in the soil. Generally speaking, if there is enough base fertilizer in the soil, the crop will have a high fruit setting rate in the later stage and the yield will be high. When digging and transplanting seedlings, choose relatively large and strong seedlings, which have a more developed root system and increase the survival rate of the seedlings when transplanting.

What fertilizer should be used after pepper seedlings are transplanted

After 5-6 days of planting, water the peppers to help them grow slowly, and apply some liquid trace element fertilizers containing rooting agents to nourish or promote root growth, so that the roots can grow faster and develop. After watering the peppers to help them grow slowly, timely tillage is necessary to improve soil permeability, which is conducive to root growth and also plays a role in moisturizing. During this period, water control should be adopted to prevent the peppers from growing too tall and affecting differentiation.

How to water pepper seedlings at the beginning

After the peppers emerge, water should be controlled. If the humidity in the seedbed is too high, you can sprinkle plant ash and fine soil to adjust it. Watering should be based on soil temperature, and water when it is dry. Do not water the seedbed soil until it turns white. Watering should be done at noon on a sunny day. After watering, ventilate and dehumidify. Remember to air dry the peppers for 1 day after watering with small amounts of water, and air dry them for 2 days after watering with large amounts of water. To prevent the occurrence of symptoms such as sudden wilt and damping-off caused by high humidity, remember to cover the seedbed with film after it has been dried.

After the seedlings reach the 4-leaf stage, if the seedbed lacks water, water should be applied in time to promote root development, so as to accelerate the seedling growth after transplanting. Watering should be done between 9 and 11 a.m. During the entire seedling period, the soil in the seedbed should be kept warm to maintain good growth of the seedlings. Note that water should be cut off for 7 to 10 days before transplanting, and the seedbed can be watered once one day before transplanting to ensure permeability.
