| Stage | UAE Timing | Temperature Guidelines |
|---|---|---|
| Start Indoors | Mid‑July | Soil temperature ≥ 24 °C |

-
Begin indoors mid‑July, aiming for 8–10 weeks of growth before移 field planting. Maintain soil at 24 °C or higher for good germination.
-
Move seedlings to the field by mid‑October, when nights remain comfortably above 15 °C, avoiding both summer heat and risk of cold stress.
Tips for Planting & Care
-
Light & Soil: Ensure full sun (6–8 hours daily) and well-draining, loamy soil enriched with organic matter; ideal pH is 6.5–7. Avoid planting near previous nightshade crops like tomatoes.
-
Depth & Spacing: Sow seeds ~0.6 cm deep. Transplant at 45–60 cm apart, with 60–90 cm between rows to ensure airflow and growth.
-
Watering: Maintain soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; aim for deep watering up to 15 cm of soil. Mulching helps preserve moisture.
-
Fertilization: Apply a phosphorus-rich fertilizer at planting, then switch to a balanced NPK as fruit sets; avoid excessive nitrogen to prevent leafy growth at the expense of fruiting.
-
Support: Large-fruited varieties may need staking or cage support to keep branches upright and healthy.
-
Pests & Disease: Monitor regularly; use crop rotation and companion flowers like basil or marigolds to deter pests. Maintain garden hygiene to reduce fungal issues.
-
Harvest: Peppers are typically ready around 75 days after transplanting. Harvest when they reach full red color, using clean cuts to avoid plant damage and encourage further fruiting.
