How to prune colorful pepper planting? How to prune colorful peppers and when to prune

Colorful pepper belongs to the treasure of chili pepper, can be edible, medicinal, the plant can also be used for ornamentation, the fruit on the same plant has green, yellow, white, purple, red five colors, bright and eye-catching. The content of capsaicin in colorful peppers is as much as 10 times that of ordinary peppers, and all the land that can grow ordinary peppers can be planted with colorful peppers.

1. Wipe the buds and leave the branches

When the multicolored pepper plant grows to 10-12 leaves, the side branches of each axillary bud begin to grow, except for the upper 3-4 primary branches, the lower branches are completely erased. After the upper primary branch grows flowers and fruits, the secondary branch will also grow, and the tree shape of the colorful pepper is basically formed.

2. Weeding

Before planting, if it is treated with herbicide and covered with black mulch, weeds will generally not grow. However, around the base of the pepper plant, weeds may grow, and we need to choose a sunny day to pull them out in time.

3. Fertilizer and water management

3-5 days after the seedlings of colorful pepper return to green, 1200-1500 kg of water and fertilizer from well-rotted farmers are applied per mu. After that, we have to top dressing once every time we bloom and bear fruit, and of course, we can also top dressing once every 15-20 days. In the flowering period of colorful pepper, foliar spraying of borax solution can be considered, which can play a role in promoting flowers and preserving fruits.

When the weather is dry, it is necessary to water in time; In case of heavy rain, it should be drained in time to avoid water accumulation in the field and cause root rot.

4. Fruit setting management

In the flowering and fruit-setting period of colorful pepper, if the temperature is not suitable for a long time, especially in continuous cloudy days and low temperature weather, it is easy to cause poor flower bud differentiation and normal pollination and fertilization, resulting in a sharp decline in fruit setting rate. In order to avoid this situation, we can remove too many inner branches to reduce the nutrient consumption of leaves, and at the same time increase the light-receiving area of leaves and improve the fruit setting rate of colorful peppers. In addition, insufficient nutrition is also easy to cause plants not to set fruit, we can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate and amino acid foliar fertilizer on the foliar surface to enhance plant growth and promote normal fruit set.

5. Harvest at the right time

When the colorful pepper fruit is ripe and full, bright and bright, it can be harvested and marketed. After harvesting, it is necessary to divide the fruit into grades according to the size of the fruit, and remove diseases, insects, and rotten fruits after packaging and marketing, so as to improve the commerciality of colorful peppers.

Starting from the main trunk of the plant, leave a few main branches, and the others can be cut off. If you want to leave the shape, you can also leave a few branches with more buds depending on the specific growth of the plant, and remove the other branches and leaves.

Use sterilized scissors to cut off the yellowed leaves and some old branches, and ventilate more after pruning to dry the wound. Timely supplementation of nitrogen and potassium fertilizers can promote the growth of plant rhizomes.

1. Hit the top in time.

Colorful peppers should be pruned in time during the breeding period, especially when they are in the seedling stage. The growth rate of the seedling stage is fast, and when it grows to a certain height, it is necessary to pluck the topping treatment in time, and directly remove the growth point at the top when topping, so that the height can be well controlled, and more side branches can be promoted. It is best to do topping several times, and the plant will become fuller and more beautiful.

2. Prune the branches.

During the management period, it is necessary not only to top the treatment, but also to prune the branches. When it is found that there are long branches, sick branches, dead branches and cross-branches, it is necessary to cut off in time, which can not only save a lot of nutrients, but also greatly improve the internal light transmission and ventilation of spring oranges, which is beneficial to the growth of the plant in the later stage, and the growth will become more vigorous and produce more fruits.

3. Pick the leaves in time.

Usually, if you find that there are diseased leaves, yellow leaves, and dead leaves on the plant, you should remove them as soon as possible, so as to ensure the light transmittance and ventilation of the plant, promote the growth of branches and leaves more vigorously, reduce the probability of pests and diseases, and benefit the growth.

4. Precautions.

When pruning colorful peppers, you should choose to do it on sunny days, and do not prune on rainy days, otherwise the wound is easy to infect. In addition, the wound should not be moistened in a hurry after pruning, and the management should be resumed after the wound is dried.

5. Pruning time.

Pruning colorful peppers is mostly carried out during the spring growth period, when the environment is suitable, and the plant can recover faster after pruning, which can reduce the damage to it.

During the growing season, the tops of the taller branches need to be removed to control the height and promote branch growth. Adult plants should also prune the branches, cut off the excessively long branches, and thin the denser areas. When pruning, use sterilized tools, and after pruning, put them in a cool place for maintenance, and do not let the water get on the incision.

1. Trim the section of the cut part

In the growth period, the potted pepper needs to be properly topped and the top of the relatively high branches removed, so that the height of the potted pepper can be controlled, so as to promote the growth of the branches, so that it is more vigorous. After the plant is grown, the branches should be pruned appropriately, and the areas that are too dense should be thinned.

2. Maintenance management

After pruning, the potted pepper should be temporarily moved to a cool and ventilated place, let the pruned incision dry and heal, and then move back to the original place for maintenance. When watering, be careful not to let the water get to the incision, so as not to infect the incision.

3. Precautions

When pruning potted pepper plants, they should be done in sunny weather, not on rainy days. When pruning, special pruning tools should be used and disinfected, so as to minimize the damage to the incision and allow it to recover as soon as possible after pruning.

When raising seedlings, you can sow seeds directly in the soil, cover them with fine soil, and water them into the soil, wait for the seeds to germinate, and after growing into seedlings, you can select healthy seedlings for planting, so that the plants can grow better.

1. Select the soil

Colorful pepper is suitable for growing in the soil with rich trace element content and good drainage, planting colorful pepper, you can use humus or garden soil with rich organic matter content and loose soil, before planting, you can also mix rotted farmhouse fertilizer into the soil to improve the fertilizer content of the soil.

2. Seedling treatment

When planting colorful peppers, seedling treatment is required. First of all, it is necessary to select the seeds with full grains and free from pests and diseases, and then spread them evenly in the prepared soil, cover them with fine soil, and after sowing, spray water on the soil surface to provide a moist environment for the seeds to germinate.

3. Carry out colonization

After the seeds of the colorful pepper germinate smoothly and grow into seedlings, you can select the healthy seedlings that grow stout and have not suffered from pests and diseases for planting, when planting, the seedlings need to be dug out with soil and planted directly in the soil, after planting, the seedlings can be sprayed with carbendazim solution to avoid plant disease.

4. Later maintenance

In the later stage of the maintenance of colorful peppers, it can provide it with river water rich in mineral content, keep the soil in a moist state, and can also provide all-day sunshine for colorful peppers, so that the plants can carry out photosynthesis normally, and can also provide them with nutritionally balanced inorganic fertilizer, so that colorful peppers can bear more fruits.

Prepare the seeds in advance, soak the seeds of the colorful pepper in water for 8 to 12 hours, then wrap the soaked seeds with a damp cloth and put them in a container, and then put them in an environment of 25 to 30 for germination treatment, the time is about 5 to 7 days, during which the seeds should be rinsed with water every day, and the seeds can be sown after they are white.

Prepare the pot, add an appropriate amount of nutrient soil to the soil, then water the soil thoroughly, sprinkle the seeds evenly on the soil, and then sprinkle the seeds with a thin soil about a centimeter thick, and then cover it with plastic wrap to moisturize and keep warm, wait for the seedlings to emerge, during which time to apply water to the soil to maintain the humidity of the reed wax stove.

The time and method of planting colorful peppers are as follows:

1. Sowing time.

In the southern region, multicolored peppers are suitable for planting in spring, summer and autumn, and the best time to sow colorful peppers is from April to September. They are generally sown first and then transplanted after seedlings are raised.

Before sowing, the seeds need to be germinated. Soak the seeds in warm water at about 50 for half an hour, take them out and soak them in water for 3-4 hours, then wrap them in moist gauze and put them in an environment of 25-30 for germination. Rinse with water every day, and then wrap it in gauze to continue germination, and wait until the seeds show the white buds, and then you can sow seeds.

2. Sow seeds and raise seedlings.

Prepare the seedbed in advance, preferably with a seedling cup. First put one-third of the nutrient soil in the seedling cup to water the nutrient soil to moisten it, and then put two seeds in each seedling cup, preferably covered with nutrient soil. In this way, it is enough to keep the seedbed at a temperature of 25-30, and if the temperature is relatively low, you can cover the seedbed with plastic film.

Wait for 5-7 days for the chili flakes to grow. After the seedlings emerge, according to the moisture of the soil, as long as you water regularly to keep the soil moist. Because there are nutrients in the nutrient soil, and the amount of fertilizer required at the seedling stage is not large, there is no need for top dressing.

3. Pepper flakes are planted.

When the pepper surface has grown to 5-6 true leaves, it is ready for planting, and it is best to plant in the evening on a sunny day. If the seedling cup is used to raise seedlings, then directly transplant the seedling cup in the planting ditch dug in advance, and then compact it with soil. The depth of the planting is flush with the seedlings, and remember to water the roots thoroughly.

When the pepper surface is planted, the field management work should also keep up, which mainly includes watering, fertilizing, weeding, pruning, etc.

After the colorful pepper is planted, it is necessary to water the seedlings, but it should not be too much, and it is enough to keep the soil moist. While watering, remember to weed and loosen the soil in time. When the pepper blooms, it is necessary to strictly control the water, so as not to have too much water, resulting in the vigorous growth of the plant, resulting in the situation of falling flowers and fruits.

In the berry development and ripening period of peppers, you can water them with an appropriate amount of watering, but they should be harvested when they are wet, and the soil can not be dry, so that the colorful peppers can be better colored.

Colorful peppers like fertilizer, but they are not tolerant to high temperatures and thick fertilizers. If the basal fertilizer of the soil is sufficient, there is basically no need to apply much fertilizer in the later stage. After planting, the diluted sesame paste cake fertilizer can be applied every half month.

In the peak season of plant growth, you can apply one or two rotted farm manure, or market-bought flower manure. In the flowering period of colorful peppers, you can apply 1-2 times of plant ash in an appropriate amount, which can increase the fruit, not to mention, but also make the fruit more shiny and bright.
