It’s a shame I didn’t know this earlier and I often encountered various difficulties when growing hot peppers and bell peppers. They lost color, the fruits fell off, or the plants did not reach the required fruit weight.

Also, I found bloating, mites, and other issues. I later realized that this was the wrong approach to irrigation, one of the most important aspects of caring for this capricious crop. It was enough to change a simple watering pattern and most of the problems disappeared instantly.

It turns out that regular watering plays a crucial role in preventing dropsy at the seedling stage. Peppers should be watered on a schedule, not randomly. This plant requires strict frequency and regularity. She is a true perfectionist and does not forgive forgetfulness when it comes to watering.

If you skip watering and then water too much, the leaves will instantly become covered in dropsy. In a greenhouse, if the frequency of watering is altered, the plants will shed shoots, flowers, leaves, or fruit that have already started.

Now every year I enjoy a rich crop of bell peppers and hot peppers, bar none. The main and simple principle is regular watering.

It’s not as important if you water every day or every 1 or 2 days. It is very important to comply with the selected irrigation program always and without exception. If after planting the seedlings in the ground you started watering 2 days later, continue watering in the future, regardless of the circumstances. If you change your schedule, stick to your new schedule for at least 2 weeks. Frequently changing the frequency of watering can cause problems.

This is really the simplest, I would even say, elemental secret to growing peppers successfully. Try watering this way this year. You’ll notice that the plants will feel much better, and you’ll have a bountiful harvest.
