All other healthy peppers processed as follows:

  • carefully examined all the bushes of peppers and shoots available on them;
  • 2-3 of the most powerful shoots are selected, which will later be the basis of a single “skeleton” of the plant;
  • the top of the bush is removed so that it acquires a more compact form and is able to develop magnificent shoots along the sides;
  • all lower shoots are removed (at the top there should be only 4-5 pieces);
  • the remaining stepchildren are scanned for the presence of shoots, if there are many of them, some are deleted;
  • all dried and yellow leaves are eliminated, as well as fruitless shoots (this should be done 1 time in 4 days).

The shoots remaining on the bushes will quickly gain strength and develop superbly, after which they will be able to give up to 25 pieces of juicy, sweet and fleshy fruits from one plant.

After stacking, it is important to ensure that there are no diseased, dried or damaged shoots on the bush that can slow down or completely stop the development of the peppers. If there are any, they should be immediately removed.

The first "crown" flowers, which appeared on the bushes of pepper, must be removed.. One can do without carrying out this procedure only when growing a large fruit intended for collecting seeds.

But it should be understood that you practically will not receive a harvest from such a bush.

To do this, it is important to properly care for the plant, combining all the available methods: watering, loosening and fertilizing.

And what about the shoots of bushes every gardener must decide for himself. To do this, you can look at the description of the plants, located on the back of the package with seeds, or on the bushes themselves, which are already growing in the garden.

If they are weak and helpless, it is better to abandon the procedure, if healthy and strong - hold it on a serene, but not too sunny day.
