It's good to grow peppers on the balcony. As long as the balcony has enough space and light, you can grow some vegetables and fruits you like, such as peppers. As long as the suitable soil is prepared and carefully maintained, it can still be harvested.
Planting method for planting pepper on balcony
1, sowing time
Pepper likes heat and is most suitable for sowing in spring or early autumn. The earlier you sow, the faster you grow, and the more peppers you can harvest.
Step 2 choose varieties
To grow peppers on the balcony, we should choose varieties with high yield, such as colored peppers, croissants and morning peppers. We can choose a bigger flowerpot to grow peppers. Generally, 2-3 plants can be planted in each pot, and about 30-40 peppers can be harvested in each pot.
3. Orchard soil
Before planting peppers, prepare loose and breathable soil. Generally, humus soil with fertile drainage should be selected, and some peat can also be added to increase soil permeability. Then add some microbial agents and special fertilizers for fruits and vegetables to increase the resistance of vegetables.
4. Seed sowing
The germination rate of pepper is very high. As long as the seeds are sown at about 20 degrees in spring without accelerating germination, they will germinate and emerge in about a week. Then you can wait for the harvest. If the temperature is low, you can cover the flowerpot with a film to keep warm.
Key points of planting pepper on balcony
1, transplanting and fertilization
When the pepper seedlings grow to four or five leaves, they can be transplanted into a larger flowerpot, directly about 25 cm. After transplanting, don't bask in the sun for two or three days, and then bask in the sun normally.
When the new leaves grow, you can start fertilizing, preferably with organic fertilizer. Ordinary sheep manure, chicken manure, pigeon manure, plant ash, cake fertilizer, etc. can be used, and the amount of fertilization should not be too large each time.
2. Growing environment
Potted peppers raised on the balcony must ensure sufficient sunshine. If there is no sunshine, then pepper can't carry out photosynthesis, its branches will grow in vain, and the branches are slender, so it is difficult to blossom and bear fruit. This must be noted.
Does planting peppers on the balcony affect Feng Shui?
Planting peppers on the balcony does not affect Feng Shui. There are very few varieties of peppers. You can plant some small peppers or colored peppers on the balcony, which is better than some flowers. As long as there is plenty of sunshine and regular watering and fertilization, peppers are basically picked all year round.
