Growing tips

Let seeds soak in water overnight before sowing. Sowing peppers needs a lot of heat for germination (25-28 °C). Too low temperatures are the most common cause of bell pepper seeds not sprouting. Cool them after pricking out, 20-22 °C in a bright place is ideal. Harden off the young plants before setting them out and protect them with a fleece during cool nights. Very sunny location, preferably in front of a south-facing wall. Also thrives well on the balcony in sufficiently large planters. Fertilize and water sufficiently, especially as soon as the first fruits are there about once a week.
