60 cm, staked Germination 15-20 days Sowing 8 weeks before last frost Harvest +- 90 days after transplant to the garden Successful sowing
Sow in February/March in pots of fine seed compost at only 2-3 mm, in a heated greenhouse (25°C). Water with a sprayer to keep the seedling soil moist but not soggy.
Place the buckets in full light or under a horticultural lamp to prevent your seedlings from spinning upwards. Keep them warm.
Repot into larger pots when seedlings have 2-4 true leaves.
Plant
Transplant the plants in the garden in light, airy soil when frosts are no longer to be feared, in a warm and sunny position at 40 cm in all directions. Watering and mulching. Attention, if a contribution of compost is welcome, an excess of nitrogen could involve a strong development of the foliage to the detriment of the fruits.
Peppers need a high temperature for their development. If you do not live in an area with hot summers, we strongly recommend a greenhouse culture.
