Growing tips
Germination conditions:
- depth of sowing: 5 mm
- germination temperature: 25 to 30 ºC
- germination time: 7 to 21 days
When to sow:
- indoor sowing 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost date in your area
Sowing technique: in pocket
- Inside the same hole, sow 3 to 5 seeds spaced about 1 to 2 cm apart; when the seeds have germinated and the seedlings have reached a height of 5 cm, keep all the plants if space is available or keep only the best plants. Transplant into individual containers while waiting for transplanting in the garden.
Transplant outdoors:
- After any risk of frost, when the soil is warmed and the average nighttime temperature is above 15 ºC.
Distance in the garden:
- between plants: 30 cm
- between rows: 60 cm
Height: 45-75 cm
Soil: rich and well drained
Watering: moderate
- N. B.: Watering has an impact on the taste of the pepper, more precisely on its strength. A heavily watered pepper will be less strong than one that is less watered. Often, it is the temperature (frequent rains, heat waves) that will play the biggest role in this equation. Don’t be surprised, during very hot summers, that some peppers are hotter than expected!
Number of seeds/g: 100-200
