Kesha

The KESHA F1 pepper is a high-yielding variety well-adapted to various climatic conditions and soil types. This miniature pepper is ideal for cultivation both in open and protected ground, including containers on windowsills. The fruits have a conical shape, bright yellow-orange color, and weigh about 50 grams with a wall thickness of 4-5 mm. They feature excellent taste and are suitable for both fresh consumption and preservation.

Growing KESHA pepper begins with sowing seeds in a light soil mixture of compost, garden soil, and sand in equal parts. Seeds are sown at a depth of 1 cm, and the soil is pre-treated with a 1% manganese solution. For germination, cover the seed trays with plastic and keep them in a dark place at a temperature of +25...+30 °C and humidity around 50%. After seedlings emerge, remove the plastic, move the containers to light, and provide a 12-hour daylight period using supplemental lighting. Gradually adjust the temperature: first reduce to +18 °C during the day and +16 °C at night, then raise to +20...+25 °C. Water as needed when the topsoil dries out, and after the appearance of two leaves, feed seedlings with complex fertilizers every two weeks.

Transplant plants to their permanent location at 40-50 days old, following a planting scheme of 40×60×80 cm. Care for pepper includes regular watering, soil loosening, and fertilization. Due to genetic selection, the KESHA F1 variety exhibits high frost resistance and productivity, making it attractive for both home cultivation and commercial production.
