Planting & Care Tips

• Start seeds about 0.5–1 cm deep in seed trays or small pots.
• Germination usually takes around 7–14 days in warm conditions.
• Transplant outdoors when temperatures are more suitable for pepper growth.
• Space plants approximately 30–45 cm apart, with 45–60 cm between rows.
• Grow in full sun, ideally with 6–8 hours of direct sunlight.
• Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost.
• Keep soil consistently moist, particularly during flowering and fruit development.
• Feed with a balanced vegetable fertilizer, then provide additional potassium during flowering and fruiting.
• A small stake can help support plants when heavily loaded with peppers.
• Harvest when fruits develop their full bright red color for the sweetest flavor.
