Grow peppers in homemade woven bags, no flower pots needed, harvest 100 jin a year and still have more than you can eat

Balconies are no longer enough for gardening enthusiasts. Some have come up with the idea of growing potted peppers at home, planting vegetables indoors. Among the varieties of potted vegetables, the more common ones include potted onions, potted sweet potatoes, potted peppers and so on. Unlike flowers such as pothos and spider plants, which are not much to look at, these can also be eaten. Here is what one gardening enthusiast did: growing peppers without pots, using homemade "woven bags", harvesting 100 jin a year, more than they can eat!

For potted peppers we all use flower pots, but one netizen used a "woven bag", homemade, saving the money on buying flower pots. Using woven bags from home as flower pots counts as a second use, making the most of waste. The peppers in every bag grew well, and you just want to pick them at the sight of them. It is said that 100 jin can be harvested in a year.

If gardening enthusiasts want to grow peppers on the balcony, that works too. Potted peppers do not need much space to grow; a flower pot of about 30 cm is enough to grow peppers. Grown from seed, pepper seeds soaked in water overnight sprout easily, and the seedlings grow quickly too. A mature pepper plant looks quite nice, no worse than pothos or spider plants, and it is fun as well.

Note that the container for planting should be at least 25 cm deep, and the planting spot should not be in full sun at first; give the seedlings plenty of indirect light. Choose the right time to plant peppers; they can be planted at a temperature of around 17~20°C, generally after the weather warms up in spring. For growing peppers you can choose different varieties and label each variety.

If you choose sowing, before sowing you can first soak the seeds in a carbendazim solution, then soak them in clean water overnight; you can also soak them in warm water for half an hour, and then sow. The germination rate is especially high and germination is faster. During the seedling stage avoid direct sunlight and keep plenty of indirect light. When the seedlings have grown 4 true leaves, they can be transplanted; choose the seedlings with sturdy stems and leaves to grow on, and the other seedlings can only be discarded.

The gardening enthusiast above who grew peppers in woven bags said that if a flower pot has better air permeability, the plant's root system will also grow more vigorously. In the past, when watering plants, there was always the worry of watering too much or not reaching the bottom; now with woven bags, some of the situations where it is easy to water wrongly can be avoided. They are even easier to grow than pothos, so interested gardening enthusiasts may as well give it a try, and can start with the sowing method.
