Growing Information
This 12cm plant is ideal for window sill growing but can also be grown in a greenhouse, polytunnel, or grown outdoors in a sheltered position in full sun.
For windowsill growing - it will crop reliably if kept in its original pot and fed and watered regularly but potting up will increase your crop. Feed and water pepper plants regularly throughout the growing season to prevent the flower buds from dropping. To ensure pollination tickle each flower with a soft paintbrush.
When growing peppers outdoors, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days prior to transplanting them into a sunny, sheltered position in well drained soil. Space pepper plants at a distance of 50cm (20") apart.
