Growing tips

Cover seeds only lightly with soil (approx. 0.2-0.5 cm). When the cotyledon is visible, prick out into small pots and continue cultivation at approx. 18-20°C. Cut off fruits, do not tear, so that the shoots are not damaged. Fertilize and water regularly. Peppers need plenty of warmth to germinate (25-28°C). Harden off before planting. Protect with a fleece during cool nights. Protect from wind. Cultivation under glass is usually earlier and more productive. Then plant out from April. Breaking out the first flower is recommended to stimulate growth and yield. Do not allow plants to dry out.
