sweet pepper, when to transplant????
Salam to all, my first experiment with sweet pepper the colored variety has resulted in 12 tender saplings along with two encrouchers(Watermelon that some kids next door threw in the pot thinking it was a dust bin!! ) Now peppers have 2 true leaves each should I transplant them now or wait?melon I am planning on relocating in the bed, how many leaves should they have to stand a chance of surviving??also can anyone tell me how frequently the plants need to be watered?safer dry or wet as far as pests like Aphids go?

Re: sweet pepper, when to transplant????
These days plants are in a lot of stress.. heat and pests to be particular... the plants will survive if not grown in full day sun but will get attacked by spidermites and whiteflies soon, spray a good pesticide or just give your plants a water jet wash everyday to avoid these pests.. your plants will grow with full vigour in the coming monsoon season... in the meanwhile water your plants regularly and leave the rest to GODbushrasherwani wrote:Salam to all, my first experiment with sweet pepper the colored variety has resulted in 12 tender saplings along with two encrouchers(Watermelon that some kids next door threw in the pot thinking it was a dust bin!! ) Now peppers have 2 true leaves each should I transplant them now or wait?melon I am planning on relocating in the bed, how many leaves should they have to stand a chance of surviving??also can anyone tell me how frequently the plants need to be watered?safer dry or wet as far as pests like Aphids go?
