Temperature: Red peppers are not tolerant to low temperatures, and the maintenance temperature needs to be controlled between 15 and 30 degrees; Watering: They are not drought tolerant, so they need to be watered every other day, and the amount of watering should not be too much. Just ensure the demand; Fertilization: Compound fertilizer needs to be applied during the seedling stage, fertilizing once every half month; Light: It likes light, and it should be given 5-6 hours of light every day.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The maintenance temperature should not be lower than fifteen degrees. If the temperature is too low, the plants will grow slowly and be difficult to pollinate. If the temperature is higher than thirty-five degrees, Plants will appear stunted, and even if pollination is normal, the fruits will dry up because they cannot develop properly. Therefore, the most suitable temperature for maintaining red peppers is between 15 and 30 degrees.

2. Watering: It is not drought tolerant or flood tolerant. In fact, it does not have much demand for water. However, because its roots are underdeveloped, it requires more watering to ensure good growth. . There is not much dew in the seedling stage. Watering should be done in a dry and wet manner. However, if the humidity of the soil is too high, the plants will not develop well. When watering, make sure the soil is completely wet and there is no accumulation of water in the soil. In summer, it is enough. The temperature is relatively high, so water once every two days.

3. Fertilization: Different fertilization methods need to be used according to different growth periods. The demand for nutrients in the seedling stage is relatively large, so it is suitable to use compound fertilizers, because the nutrients of compound fertilizers are sufficient and comprehensive, and can fully meet the needs of the plants; in the early flowering stage, the plants are gradually growing, and N fertilizers should be avoided at this time. It can prevent the plants from growing too long; during the fruiting period, you need to use compound fertilizers, and stop fertilizing two days before harvesting.

4. Lighting: It has little demand for light. If the light is too strong during the lighting process, the plants will have dry branches and leaves. The greenhouse red pepper seedling cultivation period after autumn requires shade to avoid the induction of viral diseases and sunburn.

2. Breeding skills

1. Propagation: It can be propagated by sowing. First, soak the seeds in warm water for two to eight hours, and wait until the seeds are full. After the water sinks to the bottom, fish it out, then scatter the seeds evenly on the soil, cover with a thin layer of soil, water enough, and place them in a brightly lit place for curing. Generally, they will germinate in about a week.

2. Pruning: When it reaches a foot high, you can start pruning. On the basis of ensuring that the plant retains a few leaves, cut off the upper part of the plant, which is commonly known as "Topping" and shading can strengthen its foundation and make it grow more vigorously.

3. Problem diagnosis

1. Insect pests: The bollworm is the number one natural enemy of red peppers. The pests will eat the buds and fruits of the plants and spread diseases. When the disease develops, you need to use voltonuron emulsion for spray treatment.

2. Disease: Plants are prone to pepper cotton rot. When the disease occurs, the base of the seedlings will rot, the fruit will rot, and a large amount of white mold will breed, making the fruit lose its edible value. To treat this disease, you need to spray the plants with Preco Water at the early stage of the disease.

4. Other issues

1. Edible: It is edible.

2. Toxicity: non-toxic.
