Sowing & Growing
Sow early December-January, or for main crop March- April.
Sow the seed into compost either into a seed tray or into modules with a temperature between 20-24°C and cover with a light layer of compost. Germination typically takes 14 - 21 days. Cover the compost with clear plastic film which helps raise the temperature aiding germination.
Once seedlings emerge they do not require quite as much heat, temperatures can be reduced to 18°C by day and no lower than 16oC at night.
It is best to re-pot in stages before their final pot size. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per grow bag when 20cm (8in) high.
Can be placed outdoors, in large pots once all frost risk has passed.
Please note that germination can be slow and erratic on some open pollinated hot peppers.
For best production keep the plants in the Greenhouse, Polytunnel, Conservatory.
Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.
Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.
