Pepper seed classification
As mentioned, there are an incredible number of varieties. So many that a person who has no experience in agriculture will not understand what's what. & nbsp; Of all the species and subspecies classifications, one can single out the most familiar to every European. Pepper seeds are divided into the following types:
- Hot pepper. The most popular variety is chili, even hotter Jalapeno, waxy Hungarian, Jamaican, red Cherry pepper and others. Despite the pungency, they contain a large amount of useful substances. They are digestion catalysts, used for chronic diseases, diseases of the stomach and intestinal tract in some cases. In the East, flatulence is cured with the help of the pungent Habanero. Due to its small size in most species, it is well suited for growing at home. The process of sowing seeds is recommended to be carried out in winter. You also need to carefully approach the preparation of the soil, laying it out in layers: humus, leafy soil, sand. Indoor hot pepper bushes do not respond well to transplantation, so you need to take care of the "growth" pot in advance.
- Sweet pepper. The second name, which is more popular, is Bulgarian. There are different colors: from yellow to purple. Growing this type is a more complicated procedure and is unlikely to suit inexperienced farmers. Preparing for planting takes a lot of time and knowledge. Sowing pepper seeds – the beginning of the most crucial period, ending with the emergence of seedlings. After all, on the "conscience" the seeds themselves are only 20% failures, 80% - non-compliance with growing technologies. Therefore, it is more reliable to sow germinated seeds for seedlings, which reduce the likelihood of poor germination. To begin with, the purchased seeds must be soaked in infused water with aloe leaves or a small amount of potassium permanganate. This will not harm the plant in any way, but rather relieve harmful bacteria and damage. Seeds should be watered abundantly until the first leaves appear.
How to choose seeds
There are no special technologies for choosing pepper seeds, they are the same and differ in what fruits we get at the end. It is worth choosing, starting from the place of residence: a private house or an apartment. Also, an important factor in choosing is whether it is late or early. The first type matures in about 140 days, while the second takes almost half the time. It is imperative to find out if you are allergic to one or another variety, since this product can also have a negative effect on a sick organism.
