How to plant bell peppers – step by step
1. Begin seeds inside 8-10 weeks before the last frost. The soil temperature must be no less than 65-70 degrees. Start pepper seeds three in one pot.
2. Transplants can be planted outside 18-24 inches separated after there is no risk of frost. Night temperatures should not fall beneath 60 degrees F and daytime temperatures should not go over 90 degrees. Plant in a window box or grower that is no less than 9 inches deep. Find a spot in the morning sun or filtered light, yet don’t allow them to stay on the direct sunlight.
3. Put 2-3 matchsticks in each opening alongside some natural fertilizer to add sulfur. Add rich natural compost to the blend also. Make a blend of 2 tablespoons of Epsom salts with 1 gallon of water. Spray plants with the Epsom salt blend occasionally to help the bell peppers get the chance to reap quicker.
4. Bell peppers should have constantly wet, but never too moist. Water them all the more frequently in case you’re in a hotter, desert climate.
5. Bolster with cages or stakes. When your bell peppers reach the wanted size, you can collect them.
