Growing tips

Do not give fertilizer with high nitrogen content. The plant will then develop a lot of foliage at the expense of fruiting. Cover the seeds only lightly with soil for germination, keep them evenly moist but not wet and warm (min. 20°C, more likely 25°C). A bright location is also important. Prick out as soon as 2-4 true leaves are present. Harden off before planting out. When the first fruits start to form, fertilize about 1 time a week. The first flower can be broken out to encourage the formation of more fruits. Wind-protected locations are advantageous. Support shoots well.
