Description
Indoor Planting
- Sow March - April
- Sow seeds 5mm deep in pots or trays of moist compost
- Store in a warm place at an approximate temperature of 24C (75F)
- Once germination starts the temperature can be reduced to 18-21C (65-70F)
- Do not exclude light as this helps the seeds to germinate
- Only water when dry
- Once all chance of frost has passed, the plants can be transplanted into growing beds or patio tubs outside
- Harden off first
- It would also be useful to cover with cloches for extra protection
- This variety can take a while to germinate, be patient
- Chillies do best in very mild conditions, therefore, it would be better to keep them in a greenhouse or indoors
- Caution: Use gloves when handling the fruits
- Pick fruits to encourage more to grow
- Feed regularly with a tomato liquid fertiliser
- Sow Outdoors: May - June
- Row Width: 24"/60cm
- Harvest: When required
