How to Transplant Bell Pepper Seedlings

It doesn’t matter if you started your bell peppers from seed indoors yourself or went to a nursery to purchase your starts. You will need to get them transplanted for a successful growing season. Growing bell peppers is great because they are fairly easy to grow and somewhat resistant to pests so they make a good crop to start as a beginning gardener. Here are some tips for transplanting your bell pepper seedlings.

How to Harden Off Bell Pepper Seedlings for Transplanting

Hardening off your bell peppers is extremely important and should not be skipped. It will keep your peppers from being shocked by the change from indoors to out and ultimately, it will lead to healthier, hardier plants.

Hardening off is very easy to do and only requires really an extra week or so before transplanting. All you need to do is take your seedlings outdoors and place them there on a protected spot such as a covered porch. Leave them outdoors for a few hours each day, increasing day by day, until they stay overnight. When you are able to leave them outdoors, you can transplant them.

Pick the correct soil and conditions to grow your seeds for best results. Peppers like well draining soil and hot weather with full sun for 8-10 hours a day to grow.

To transplant your pepper seedlings, choose a spot that has these elements. You will want to space them out about 18 inches apart. Mix some compost and bone meal into the soil as well. Dig your holes about 18 inches apart from each other a little bigger than the container you grew your seedlings in.

Gently remove your seedlings, dirt and all, from their containers and place them into the ground. Pat some extra soil around and at the base of each plant. Pat them down well to remove air and water.
