Grow Capsicum on Your Balcony with This Easy Guide

Due to heavy rains in the country, vegetable crops are damaged a lot, due to which the prices of vegetables also fluctuate very rapidly. It becomes difficult for a common man to buy such expensive vegetables. Therefore, the only way to avoid inflation is that we grow some vegetables on the balcony or terrace of the house.

Due to torrential rains in the country, the capsi cum crop has also been badly affected. At the same time, there is a lot of demand for capsicum in every season and buying such expensive capsicum from the market also puts a burden on the pocket. In such a situation, you can also plant capsicum on the balcony or terrace of your house. Let's know the method.

How to grow capsicum on the roof of the house

1. First of all, buy good quality seeds of capsicum from a nursery. You can also grow capsicum in a pot or a grow bag.

2. Sandy-loam soil with good drainage should be used to grow capsi cum. Add organic manure to it and mix everything and keep it in the sun for some time, so that the moisture and insects present in the soil go away.

3. Before planting the seeds in the pot, soak them in lukewarm water for 24 hours. After that, bury the seeds inside the soil at a depth of 3 to 4 inches. After planting the seeds, add cow dung manure on top and then add one to two mugs of water. Do not keep the pot in strong sunlight until the seeds germinate. As long as the plant is small, water it only once a day because adding too much water can spoil the seeds.

4. Add organic manure to the capsicum plant at an interval of every 20 days. Apart from this, to prevent insects from attacking the plant, spray natural insecticide on the plant. You can use wooden sticks to support the plants.

5. For cultivating capsicum, the pH value of the soil should be 6. Whereas the capsi cum plant can tolerate temperatures up to 40 degrees. The capsicum plant starts producing 75 days after planting. On the other hand, if we talk about its production, the production of capsicum crop in 1 hectare is 300 quintals.

Method of planting capsicum plants

• When your capsi cum plants are ready, then you can take them out and plant them in different pots or grow bags.
• For this, take soil, coco peat and Burmese compost manure, and mix them well and fill it in a grow bag or pot.
• After this, plant the capsicum plant in it and pour water. Now keep watering it from time to time, and do hoeing.
• In this way, flowers will start blooming in it in 45 to 50 days. At this time, you must give Burmese compost manure to the plants.

In about 2 to 2.5 months, your capsicum will be ready to eat.

In this way, you can easily grow capsicum in pots, and avoid eating chemical-laden capsicum from the market, and also save your money.

After 70 days, you will produce around 1 kg per day

If you want, you can grow capsi cum on the roof of the house. For this, you will have to buy some pots. After filling the pots with soil, you can plant capsicum plants. At the same time, keep adding fertilizer and water in the pots from time to time. The crop is ready 70 to 75 days after transplanting. That means you can pluck capsicum. In such a situation, the month of June and July is considered better for cultivating capsicum. If you plant 10 capsicum plants, then after 70 days, you will produce around 1 kg per day.

You will have to mix organic fertilizer and add it

Similarly, you can also grow coriander in a rectangular container on the balcony or the roof of the house. The specialty of coriander is that it is ready within a month. That is, 25 days after sowing, you can pluck green coriander leaves. This will save a lot of money every month in this inflation. The special thing is that before sowing coriander, you will have to mix cow dung and organic manure with the soil in the pot. This gives a good yield.

Take care of the seeds

The yield of any crop depends on how you are choosing the seeds. If the seeds are not right, then no matter how much effort you make for any crop, the yield will never be good. Therefore, before growing capsicum in a pot, you must choose the right seed. Whenever you go out to buy capsicum seeds, do not buy seeds from any shop on the way. To buy the right and best seeds, you can go to any seed store. You will get good seeds in the seed store.
