Features of cultivation

Due to the early ripeness of the hybrid, it can be grown for seedlings at different times depending on where you are going to grow it. If you have the opportunity to plant it in a greenhouse under cover to obtain an extra-early harvest in late spring - early summer, then you can start growing seedlings in February.

If your plans are to grow peppers in ordinary beds or, at most, under covering arches, then there is no point in sowing the seeds of the Orange miracle for seedlings before March, since before planting the seedlings can become very overgrown and will be painful to plant in the ground.

The seeds of this hybrid have good germination, like most Dutch hybrids. As a rule, they do not need any additional processing before sowing, as they are often processed by the manufacturer. After emergence, pepper seedlings must be placed in cooler conditions (not higher than +20°C) to allow the root system to grow well.

It is advisable to pick individual pots when two true leaves appear. Since the Orange Miracle pepper has great growth power, it is better to prepare fairly large cups for replanting, so that when planted in the ground, each plant is in a container with a volume of about 1 liter.

For the same reason, no more than three Orange Miracle pepper bushes are placed on one square meter or they are planted according to a 50x70 cm pattern. Powerful bushes usually do not need either supports or garters.

The most important agronomic technique for obtaining large yields of juicy and tasty peppers is regular watering and fertilizing. On hot days, peppers need daily watering, preferably not with cold, settled water.

The first feeding is carried out another week after picking while growing seedlings. Then, a few days after planting the pepper plants in the ground, during the formation of buds and at the end of flowering.

Advice! After harvesting the first wave of the harvest, you can try feeding the peppers again so that they have time to set and form a new batch of fruits.

The first fertilizing can be carried out with a complex fertilizer with approximately equal content of the main elements. All subsequent solutions for feeding peppers should contain a minimum amount of nitrogen and a maximum variety of microelements.

Preparing for landing

Good seeds - good harvest

First of all, you should take care of the quality of the seeds. Orange miracle pepper seeds must be disinfected using a manganese solution or a solution of aloe juice. This is done in order to kill all bacteria and increase the immunity of the seeds.

Then the seeds need to be washed under running water and dried thoroughly. After processing, you can plant in containers.

Separate containers are used for seedlings. Otherwise, when transplanting seedlings to a permanent place, the root system can be damaged.

Each container needs to have drainage in the form of a hole at the bottom. This is done so that excess moisture comes out and is not stored in the roots. After all, this can lead to their rot.

Preparing containers

Before planting seeds, you need to fill the container with light soil: mix sand, humus and ordinary soil in a ratio of 1:2:1.

The soil needs to be watered with a small amount of water and the seeds should be planted 3 cm deep, which allows the roots to form at a depth, which increases the stability of the bush. Then you can fill the planting material with a small amount of the remaining soil and compact it a little.

In the room where the containers will be stored, a temperature of 25°C should be maintained. Only under such conditions is the best germination of seeds observed. After the first signs of germination appear, the temperature can be reduced to 16°C.

Soil preparation

In the fall, you need to add organic matter to the soil in the form of humus or peat. Please ensure that the soil acidity is low and does not exceed 4%. Otherwise, you need to add lime to the soil.

Transplantation of finished seedlings (with 5 leaves and a height of 15 cm) into the greenhouse should be carried out according to the 50x50 pattern.

Immediately prepare supports for tying up bushes. In open ground, the distance between rows should be about 60 cm, and between holes 40 cm. You also need to take care of supports.
