Namaste to all gardeners and plant lovers!
Remember those tiny pepper sprouts? They are now big enough to be transplanted into separate pots. That is what we will be talking about in this blog.
This time, I am more focused on growing fruits and vegetables, so I need a lot of different pots, and that is why I make pots using plastic containers, bags etc., which are not in use at home. As you might remember, last year I made grow bags from plastic bags of pulses in which tomato plants are currently planted. Now for the pepper plants, I used an old protein box lying in the house by cutting it open from the top.
I made 3 holes on its bottom with the help of a hot knife and also turned its lid upside down and attached it to its bottom with the help of a glue gun. Well, by doing this, now this pot will remain slightly raised from the ground due to which extra water will also flow out easily from its holes.
Here inside, I placed the lamps upside down on the three holes and then as the first layer I filled it with dry leaves of all the plants of my own garden.
I already had a slightly bigger pot and since I had 3 pepper plants to transplant, I prepared both the pots in the same way by filling them with dry leaves and then soil mix equally. In the soil mix, I used sand, cow dung manure, coco peat, normal garden soil, and home-made organic liquid fertilizer.
After this I took out the sprouts from that cup. It is important to note that if you take out the sprouts before preparing the pots, then the sprouts may die in the time taken for transplantation. Plants have to deal with transplantation shock anyway, so if their roots remain open in the air for a while, it can seriously harm them.
So after everything was ready, I took out the tiny plants from the cups and immediately transplanted them in both the pots and then put some extra soil on top and pressed the soil lightly and watered them. Now for the next 1 week, these plants will remain in a partially shaded place, hopefully by then they will recover from the transplantation shock.
I hope you enjoyed my Gardening and Phone Photography! :)
