A slight update on my pepper plants 7/21/10
Here are the pictures of the transplanted plants:
These are a bunch of random peppers. These peppers are bell peppers, jalapeno peppers and a couple of topped off siling labuyo hybrid f2′s. I’m gonna harden them off in the sun (or lack of it).
There’s some wrinkled leaves on my pepper plants coz of overwatering. I held back on the watering since the rain has been doing it for me lately. The wrinkly leaves are still wrinkly only larger. But there’s new growth on the plants and it seems that it’s growing healthy leaves now. No more wrinkled up leaves. At first I thought the wrinkling was caused by the sun coz it was too hot. But I was wrong. Just overwatering.
Here are my tomato plants I transplanted:
So here’s how I transplant:
The way I transplant is to take the whole thing along with the clump of soil that the root ball is holding on to. Then take the new container, in this case is a grow bag. I put some soil on the bottom and gauge how deep I want to plant them. Then I place the plant on the middle, more or less. I loosen up the sides a bit of the root ball to unclump it so it gives the plant a chance to spread it’s roots around the new soil. Then I fill it up to how much more the container supposedly needs.
This way, I don’t disturb the plant’s roots. No transplant shock occurs, and no problems in growth or death of the plant. =D
