How many days can I water the pepper after transplanting?

Pepper is a familiar vegetable, and it is also planted by many people in rural gardens. When planting pepper, we usually sow seedlings with pepper seeds first, and then transplant them. In the process of transplanting, we usually water the planting holes before planting or water the roots after planting. So, the main question is, how can we water the peppers a few days after transplanting?

After the pepper is transplanted and planted, it is generally unnecessary to water in the later stage of the slow seedling stage under the condition of sufficient root-fixing water, which depends on the soil moisture. For example, when the weather is dry and the soil moisture is insufficient, you can choose to open a small ditch next to the pepper seedlings at 18 ~ 20 cm in the evening, or about 20 cm away from the root of the pepper seedlings.

Because the root system of pepper seedlings is not very resistant to water, if too much water is poured after transplanting, it will lead to too much water in the soil and reduce the air content in the soil. Generally, this will affect the normal respiration of pepper seedling roots in the soil, thus affecting the growth of pepper roots. For example, when there is too much water, some roots will be waterlogged.

When planting pepper, when transplanting and planting pepper, it is necessary to pour enough root-fixing water for pepper, so that loose soil can better combine with pepper root system after sinking, which is beneficial to the growth of pepper root system. After transplanting and planting, in order to make the root system of pepper seedlings grow deeper and deeper, squatting is generally used to manage pepper seedlings at this time. If the soil moisture is good, it is generally not watered in this process until the pepper expands and grows, and it is watered once on a sunny day with topdressing. After that, it is generally watered according to the growth of pepper and the weather change, and generally adopts a small amount of water and frequent watering.

Summary: When transplanting pepper, after watering the root water, the seedlings with good soil moisture can squat directly without watering. If the soil moisture is not enough, you can open a shallow ditch next to the pepper seedlings and pour some water, then squat the seedlings, and then combine topdressing and watering when the peppers swell and grow. Therefore, farmers personally think that when to water peppers after transplanting is generally determined according to soil moisture and climatic conditions, generally about 5 days after transplanting pepper seedlings.
