Transplanting Sweet Italian Pepper!
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! :)

Dhanyawad bhai!😊🙏🏼
Very good transplanting work, I'm about to make some homemade seedlings and see what seeds I put in.
Thank you for appreciating my gardening, and Good luck with your plants! :)
What are the dry leaves for? I normally put just sand in a bucket whenever I want to transplant
Dry leaves not only make the base airy, due to which extra water drains easily, the leaves also hold some water, which helps maintain moisture in the plant, and at the same time, after some time, they themselves decompose and act as manure for the plant and are also nitrogen rich, all in all, this improves the quality of the soil. :)
Ohh wow,, thank for sharing

I love how you reuse those containers for gardening! Your steps are lovely and the transplanting tips are very useful. I hope the peppers grow well and I hope to see those updates about them later.
Sorry for replying late. And thank you for appreciating my gardening. I definitely will try to share their journey. :)
You're welcome bro
Interesting idea to use unused items. Hopefully the plants will like the new place.
They surely will, after all, I have prepared their new home! :)✌️
I always enjoy your gardening tips!
You should also get some benefit from the tips given by me. If lemons grow on your lemon plant, I will also be happy, so don't forget to give me an update about it. :)
My little lemon tree is getting many new leaves. It will be very happy when the weather is warm enough for it to go back outdoors in the sunlight!

Hello Mr. @untilwelearn
I admire your planting work. You pay close attention to detail, and that's what makes transplanting a success.
I hope these peppers bear lots of fruit.
Have a beautiful day.
I hope the same :) Thank you and have a beautiful day, you too!
I really love planting seeds every year, and seeing them grow up. The weather is too cold in my country to grow peppers without a greenhouse an my garden isn't big enough for that so I'll stick to tomatoes and marigolds I seed by masses and give them every year as a present to friends and relatives to brighten up their gardens
By the way, if I am not wrong, tomatoes and peppers both need an equal amount of sunlight, so if you are growing tomatoes, I guess you should try growing peppers too. :)
Wow, this is great I can imagine how beautiful your society would look with marigold flowers all over it. <3
I think it's the difference in temperature peppers need? I tried a couple of years ago and got peppers of about 3 centimeters 😅

Is this pepper good for frying with Besan. Good onr. So big. For past 2 months Iam getting curry chillies from my garden. Good tips related to the manure, my friend.
Arre jabardast.. maine abhi kuch din pahle hi other veggies ke sath ye try kiya tha and it tastes sooo good! :P Tareef ke liye dhanyawaad! :)
🙏
You have a talent for plants.
Apparently, I don't have that talent, as I've only managed to find a few edible plants in my attempts.
Congrats!
Instead of talent, I would say I have will. Talented people are perfect in their work but I make mistakes. The only difference is that I do not hesitate to repeat the mistakes Until I Learn!
So you also will have that talent, just don't stop yourself to those few edible plants. :)
Good for your will!
Persevere!
Great initiative
Thank you! :)
I love planting its stress reliever bro
True, people do not understand the importance of gardening. It is a therapy in itself! :)
Yes i agree
I was also separating my germintaed chilli seedling yesterday, Hope mine will be as healthy as yours my friend.
!PIZZA !LUV
They will remain healthy, just keep them in a slightly shady place for a few days after transplantation. :)
Those pepper plants sre really doing good!
Nice to see you're recycling material to use in the garden.
I've been using yoghurt cups for seedlings too.
Happy gardening!
Yogurt cups are a good option, I also use paper cups. This may seem trivial to some people, but by recycling, we are making a small contribution to making the earth a better place. :)
Happy Gardening!
very neet transplanting, is there any need of adding manure to the new soil during transplanting, ?
Of course, just like we don't like to eat plain food all the time, plants also need a variety of food from time to time, which keeps them happy and helps them grow well. :)
i see well understood
