hello Oscar Carmona here for healing ground certified biodynamic nursery located in beautiful Santa Barbara California here today to talk to you about how to water pepper plants whether you're watering pepper plants or any other plant you need to really consider the the manner in which that water is delivered in other words for a pepper plant in particular who doesn't like to be watered from above because it's lives in arid climates typically you want to make sure that that water is being delivered whether it's the drip system or a micro sprinkler or in this case I'm going to hand water it below the plant below the canopy of the plant which is basically where the leaves are at and so as I said I'm going to apply this manually with a watering can and it's got a long snout and I'm going to be careful to tip it so that I don't inundate the plant water comes out gently it doesn't create any divots it doesn't wash away any of the surface and and all the nice work I did to put down this wonderful mulch in a very level and uniform manner and I'm going to take the time to make sure that that water absorbs readily if the plant if the soil is already fairly moist you'll see that the water will absorb very quickly if not if it's dry sometimes the water will pool and in which case you're going to have to give it a few seconds to actually start to submerge itself into the and into the water into the surface into the soil I should say so I'm going to keep repeating until which time for a container you start to see water pouring out and I can see the water draining on the on the back side of this pot so I know that I've sufficiently watered this plant in and that's basically all there is to it as I said if you have a drip system or you're using a hose you want to make sure that especially for a pepper that you water below the plant the canopy of the plant and that's going to make sure the overall health of your of your of your pepper plant I sure hope you found this information useful I sure enjoyed sharing it with you Oscar Carmona owner of healing ground certified biodynamic nursery I enjoyed sharing how to water a pepper plant with you today member always feed the soil and let the plants feed you have a good day
