Peach peppers and potted peppers on the rooftops in the courtyard stopped blooming and bear fruit after the temperature dropped in autumn. When frost drops, the young peppers were picked before and after . Most people would choose to leave it alone. They were frozen to death or dried to death in winter, and some were destroyed directly. It was a pity.
If you bend over and put it indoors, it will continue to bear fruit in the next year, and it will bear fruit earlier than the planted peppers that were planted in that year. Under proper management, the branches and leaves are lush and fresh peppers can be eaten all year round. You can also manage and appreciate them according to old flowers, which is full of accomplishment.
Many people think that peppers are , annual vegetables, but in fact, they are not. Peppers are cultivated as annual vegetables in northern regions, but through pruning, they can still have three peak periods, namely, spring to before the summer, after the summer to before the beginning of winter, and New Year's Day to the Spring Festival. The yield per mu of 20,000 jin is very simple.
However, greenhouse cultivation mainly supplies off-season vegetables, that is, off-season vegetables. They are on the market in open-field peppers. After the price is reduced, the economic benefits are lower during this period. In order to stop, fallow is chosen. Most people rarely see greenhouses that can produce peppers all year round.
If these greenhouse peppers are pruned to increase the yield, they can also produce 3 to 4 times in the second year, and the yield will be higher.
In tropical areas, pepper tree can be seen everywhere, but very few pieces of artificially cultivated perennial pepper tree can be found, which also proves that peppers are indeed not annual plants. However, although the pepper tree can grow to 3 to 5 meters high, it has no annual rings, which only shows that although the lignification of the stems gradually increases with the extension of the reproductive years and the resistance to freezing gradually increases, peppers will always be herbs, but effective perennial herbs.
Since peppers are the same as bamboo , they are perennial herbs, and as long as the temperature in winter meets certain requirements, they can grow into pepper trees.
In subtropical areas, some years have higher temperatures in winter and the temperature in winter has not dropped below zero. In the spring of the second year, pepper plants without destruction will sprout and will bear fruit very early. Generally, it will harvest nearly one month earlier than peppers transplanted in open fields in spring.
In the subtropical region, the temperature in winter only occasionally drops below zero, and most of the time is above zero. If you want to cultivate perennial pepper trees, it is actually very simple. Before winter comes, cut off the upper branches, retain the main and first-level branches, and then cover them with wet fine soil, rotten farmhouse fertilizer, straw, etc. to ensure that the temperature around the pepper plants does not drop below zero. If it does not freeze, it can keep the pepper root system or pepper plants from freezing. If you peel off the pepper plants in the spring of the next year, it will still bear fruit.
In the northern region, many areas already have heating facilities, which will be heated in the lower temperature seasons. The temperature inside the home is kept between 16 and 24 degrees Celsius. Although the standards vary from place to place, they will not be lower than this standard. It is very suitable for peppers to bloom and bear fruit.
That is to say, if the outdoor temperature drops to 16℃, the peppers planted in the pot can continue to bloom and bear fruit. The temperature rises to 10℃ in the spring of the following year. After the outdoor temperature is higher than the indoor temperature, it will move to a place with sufficient sunshine and continue to bear fruit.
In rural areas in the northern region, although there are no heating facilities in most areas, there will be various heating stoves at home, and the temperature will generally be above 0℃. If the peppers are picked before and after cold dew , the branches are cut off and transplanted indoors, the pepper plants can also be guaranteed to be freezing in winter. New branches will be produced from the main trunk and the base of the second year, and they will bloom and bear fruit. The peppers transplanted in the open field will bear fruit in advance. In the case of good cultivation, the pepper trees are very beautiful, and the shape is larger than the annual peppers, with more branches and high yields.
However, if the pepper tree can sustain fruiting, you also need to pay attention to certain methods and techniques:
1. Indoors with temperatures above 15℃ in winter, a high light level is needed.Although peppers are sensitive to light, long-term low light will cause the photosynthesis of to decrease, the leaves turn yellow, the plants become thin and thin, and the flowers and fruits fall seriously. It can be placed on the balcony on the south side, or you can set up fill lights indoors for fill light to extend the light time, especially when making appointments, you need to pay attention to fill light.
2. Indoors with temperatures above 15℃ in winter need regular watering. Chili peppers are drought-resistant and not water-resistant, so it is best to keep the soil moist, but not moist, so it is not particularly drought and watered to avoid root rot.
3. Indoors with temperatures above 15℃ in winter need to be fertilized. Indoor cultivation of peppers should not use chemical fertilizers or non-decomposed fertilizers. You need to use cooked soybeans, rice water, noodle soup, fruit peels, eggshells, wood ash and other nutrient solution or nutrient soil in advance to avoid odor. Otherwise, the indoor room will be full of odor and it will be difficult to remove odor.
4. Indoors with temperatures above 15℃ in winter need regular ventilation. The indoor air is not fresh, which can easily cause peppers to get sick. It is ventilated reasonably during the high temperature at noon, but it is necessary to avoid cold air blowing directly onto the pepper plants, otherwise it is very likely to die actively.
5. Indoors with temperatures above 15℃ in winter require artificial pollination. Chili peppers are often self-pollinated crops. In natural environments, insect-assisted pollination can basically achieve high yields without artificial pollination. However, because the number of peppers grown on the roof or courtyard is often small and the pollination capacity is low, artificial pollination can significantly increase the number and yield of peppers. In an environment where peppers are planted indoors and the screens are completely closed, there are no wind or insects (flying insects). There is often only blooming but not bearing fruit. If it is artificially pollinated, it will bear fruit normally.
When the temperature drops significantly in the room without heating, the temperature will also drop below zero in just a few days. In order to prevent accidents, it is best to cover the flower pot with plastic bags, then cover the flower pot with mulch film, and fill the plastic bags with nutrient soil, damp fine sand, various substrates or sawdust for insulation, which can greatly improve the ability of peppers to overwinter.
The temperature in winter is kept at 10-14°C indoors. You can place untrimmed or lightly trimmed pepper plants for appreciation. In such an environment, peppers can grow slowly or remain stationary, requiring a certain amount of light, and watering once every 10 to 15 days apart to keep the soil dry and wet.
temperature can be kept indoors at 1 to 9℃. If the flower pot without bags is watered once every 15 to 20 days apart, the amount of watering should not be too much to avoid drying the roots.
Generally speaking, turning annual peppers into perennial pepper trees is a new thing. In fact, it is very simple. It is successful, but you need to pay attention to temperature, humidity, light and fertilizer. If necessary, prune it reasonably and cultivate good plant shapes, which can meet the basic needs of different types of people and can be made into exquisite works of art. #Harvest China#
