My experience dispelled three myths

The first myth: seedlings in pure biohumus will "burn out".

Second myth: pepper should not be buried when diving, it cannot stand it

The third myth: the roots on the stem under the cotyledons in pepper do not form

Pepper and vermicompost

Here is the pepper in pure biohumus:

It took 2 weeks after the pick.

The composition of my Biohumus is as follows:

After my article on verifying the authenticity of vermicompost, there were many valuable comments, I advise you to read. it here

The essence of useful comments is that vermicompost is very different, depending on what the worms were fed with. So, maybe some kind of vermicompost will burn the roots, but in mine it's a pleasure for peppers. It turned out minus one myth for me. Not for all! You never know what kind of vermicompost you have.

A small digression from the topic. About watering. At first, the water rolled down instantly, did not linger in the vermicompost. The subscriber warned about this

olgavasilieva00 in comments. But gradually the situation with watering improved, everything became standard.

About deepening and roots

I deepened the pepper when diving into half of the stem. As we saw at the beginning of the article, the pepper did not mind, it developed well.

Conclusion: you can deepen!

Roots are another matter. Do they form on the stems? It turned out that in 2 weeks the following was not formed in the biohumus:

The lower, recessed, half of the stem is white, the not recessed half is dark. The roots on the white part did not have time to form.

But the peppers of the same variety, several days older, were transplanted at the age of the cotyledons with deepening. Normal soil with 50% vermicompost.

The roots on the stem are clearly visible, I specially washed out the soil with water:

Conclusion: roots are forming!

I have known about this for a long time, I just wanted to show it.

I always buried the peppers 6-8 days after germination under the cotyledons. I did not look at the roots, because I transplanted to permanent residence with a lump of earth. Then some of the peppers exposed their roots from watering, they were under the cotyledons!

Just two weeks in vermicompost is not enough for the formation of just near-stem roots.

So, it is definitely possible to deepen the pepper with an early pick! Everyone. The roots will be!

Has anyone conducted similar experiments? It is especially interesting about the deepening of older peppers and about deepening the eggplants under the cotyledons.

I would be grateful for your subscription and communication :)
