Bulgarian pepper should be fertilized regularly during the entire period of growth and flowering. In the first few weeks after planting, the plant should be fertilized every two weeks. Then, after the plant begins to bloom, fertilization should be carried out every week.

Step 3: Fertilizer Methods

There are several ways to fertilize bell peppers: root feeding, foliar feeding and watering. Each of them has its own advantages. Root feeding is the application of fertilizer to the soil around the roots of the plant. Leaf nutrition is the application of fertilizer to the leaves of a plant, which allows the plant to replenish its nutrient reserves more quickly. Irrigation is the use of fertilizer in water to water a plant.

Remember to keep an eye on the fertilizer level so as not to overdo it. Too much fertilizer can lead to deterioration in the quality of the fruit and the growth of the plant as a whole. As soon as you notice that the plant receives an excess of the substance, you must immediately stop feeding and switch to watering with clean water.
